ALPA used to say..."don't worry you won't be on reserve long." Well, 4 years later, still on reserve. I am glad I ain't hearing that anymore.
If our reps sat reserve they would "get it."
Agreed, the only reason they can get around the contract is because there are no walls to prevent them in the reserve section. There are only a couple examples in the entire section and even those are vague.
