Hello Section 6 negotiations.

Reserve rules are generally not a high priority when pay and other QOL issues are well below industry standard, or below what the pilot group considers important.

With almost half of our seniority list retiring in the next decade, and those of us not retiring having unbelievable opportunities to move seat/equipment, we all may have the joy(sarcasm dripping) of experiencing reserve.

If you foresee moving to another seat/AC/domicile and having a potential stint of reserve, communicate to your reps not only what you see wrong with our current system, but what you'd like to see changed. The old 'junior stuff' (like reserve rules) may affect more and more of us as we all get the opportunity to upgrade and/or change equipment. Our reps aren't psychic; if you have an idea how to fix our current system, let them know.

These reserve rules may be the reason people aren't upgrading or moving domiciles until they can hold a line.
