Conditional reserve is easy when management cancels your flight which is every single day you show up to work they make you sit airport reserve until your original release time and thats a lo of hours of sitting around at the airport doing absolutely nothing.

Another possible scenario is that they will continue to deadhead you endlessly. I have shown up to work for a 4 day trip worth 21 hours of actual flying. At the end of those 4 days I have deadheaded for 8 hours and flown 2 hours.

Can you say management is clueless and extremely incompetent?
