Is reserve just a two hour call out or do you have long and short call?
RSV trips may be added to your schedule at any time, you are only required to be available to answer your phone starting with the beginning of your RAP. Minimum call out time is 3 hrs to BLOCK OUT.
What is the pilot community like? I really enjoy most of the people I fly with where I am currently, so curious what the pilot group is like there.
How are the South of the Border trips? Are trips enjoyable?
99% Hard working professionals who are great to fly with, and about 1% idiots who make special deals with scheduling for greed. It used to be fun, and still has its moments, but the overall morale is low due to management dragging out negotiations while our airline peers have prospered at less profitable (per aircraft) airlines.
The advice to tread cautiously is very much appreciated. I don't want to stumble into the middle of a strike situation. I'm thinking that it maybe wiser to sit on the sidelines and observe for a bit...
Thanks again....
You're welcome. I didn't mean to imply that a strike WILL happen, just that the possibility exists until we are offered a fair working agreement. If you are ready to pull the trigger, might as well get in ASAP and lock in a seniority number.
