Look at UA’s RO and tell me we’d accept it? Conversion to airport standby? I doubt it.
We are airport standby with these 2-3 hour sit times. The company just doesn't call us that.
AA’s RO footprint is the longest (bad). Converts to 150% pay past the original footprint. UA’s and DL’s RO footprint is smaller but doesn’t convert to premium pay.
0159 HBT or 4 hrs after trip footprint, WHICHEVER IS LATER. Tell me that's not company language?
UA has airport standby. That’s DOA at AA. How many a guys get tagged with it? IDK. But I’d guess the guy researching asked the UA guys.
I agree and that's why I said our reserve rules LC/SC are better in that respect. But we do have guys calling for that on CnR
Reserve days off appear to be the same at DL and UA. DL has a provision for more days off if line holders have lower ALVs.

DL only does 16 days per month on reserve IIRC. We do 18.
Does UA or DL offer holiday pay? IDK. Contract comparison didn’t mention it (or I missed it).
AFAIK, yes.
Bottom line is we're on a 6 year JCBA where the top half of the pilot group (probably you, Slice), voted for pay and nothing else. The entire contract needs to be shredded and rewritten in 2019.
