Only cover 1 cdo. Most cdos are in stretches of 2-3. You would need 2-3 rsv lines just to cover one sick call. Complete waste of resources
True, but the problem is the P3 tend to be swapped to daytime flying if they bid more than 2 days in a row to work... If scheduling would honor contact times (and the associated duty periods) then I would have no problem with a clause that says if you bid P3 you must have 3 day stretches minimum... That's not what we are getting here. I was looking for day one protections (no more calling a P2 on Friday to assign a 6:30 am Monday report for flying, that's what long call should be for) and no more swapping contact times around ( putting the P3 on day flying just to then call the P1 to put back to rest and fly a CDO that night because they already burned the P3 coverage the prior night)
