Hmm. You lost every argument. That should tell you that you need to dig through the contract a bit. Start with LCs vs SCs flying into days off - it's in the contract.
As far as being called for SC, I'm almost always called at decent waking hours, not midnight.
For strange hour SCs, I've asked schedulers about them before. New schedulers won't know, but I've always been given logical answers from experienced schedulers.
I'm not ecstatic about reserve but I bid it with eyes wide open. I've learned to make it work for me.
You are LAX777 right? There are 27 active FOs. Anyways that doesn't matter.
I'm up to speed on flying into days off, happens a lot to me, so what did I say that was wrong?
Glad crew sked calls you at a descent hour because I assure you that's not the case for RSV on the 787 in SFO. Calls at midnight for a SC the next day is common practice.
As far as WB being junior there are 3 year seniority pilots on the 777 in ORD, DCA, EWR, SFO, on the 747 in SFO and the 787 in SFO. Please tell me why that is.
