The extension did more for reserves than you can image. On my aircraft every 3 or 4 day pairing is worth nearly $10K. When a trip pops in to open time those trips are immediately picked up by pilots in the double digit seniority. Then we have the reserves who live next to the airport and they volunteer (beg) for every trip trying to break guarantee.
I have not been to the airport since November 5th ( except for landings at Boeing). Every few days Scheduling calls me and gives me $328 for answering the phone. Looks like a line for April, don't know if I can afford the pay cut.
