1. Specifically, what changes would you like to see to field standby? Also, is field standby even being used by any fleet?
2. I suspect that any fix will be worse than the problem.
The company must notify a long call 13 hrs prior to a trip. The company can notify a short call 10 hours prior to a trip.
Like it or not, the company has increased flexibility by selectively converting LCs to SC.
3. Now that one's paid one hour for each SC after the second SC, having pure SC lines would cost someone who wants SC to lose money. Some reserves want to be assigned SC as much as possible because of the extra hour pay.
