Official company policy is no more in base hotels, at all. Senior captains being interfaced to min days off. What everyone says negative... unfortunately it’s true.
Oh I believe you...just saying it's not every single Captain. I've been a PHL CA for just over 2 years. Sure I've been interfaced, but 13 or 14 days off is the norm. I just think it's a two-edged sword...people come here to not be on reserve, but then are surprised they have to work more or only have 11 days off. They would be airport standby or forever reserve at a lot of other joints. I don't have a dog in the fight, I'm out in a few months. I do want to see you all have the experience I have had/enjoyed as well though. I hope this negotiation will bear the fruit we all deserve.
