TA RSV Pros/Cons
Trying to create a pro/con RSV list... Please add others and I'll update the list. Not in any order of importance. Also, let me know if I'm not understanding something correctly.
--Pro--
-LC/SC
-14 hour max day.
-More days off, no more PRL's.
-First day start no earlier than 1000 (SC).
-DRO should be completed earlier.
-Can bid all RSV days in one block.
-Virtual release of 1700 on last day of the month (helps for bidding the next month and being awarded a line).
-2:30 SC call out, a gain of 15 minutes from current call out time.
-Hybrid no longer contains RSV days unless desired.
-High time RSV will not work for free over 75 hours if not given a trip.
-Retained last day REL.
-Day off encroachment if delayed past 0300.
-Not assigned a pairing that ends after 1659 on day prior to vacation.
-NO AIRPORT READY RESERVE.
--Con--
-Can't bid on trips if have over 40 hours of credit.
-D silo is exempt from starting at 0800 the next calendar day if operating within 2 hours of the WOCL. (Possible back to back red-eyes?)
-It's still the DRO.
-Can only bid on trips that equal number of RSV days left (SC, not LC).
-Conversion from LC to SC $100 compensation, up to 5 times. Would like to see a bit more money.
-Being rescheduled 1 minute outside of original footprint does not necessarily trigger the 5 hours PRM/JRM anymore.
-Still must make positive contact with Crew Scheduling if in a LVL 2/3 and not given reassignment (can use the call back feature, but we all know how horrible it is to contact them in this situation, would like to see the onus on them).
-Senior pilot is still given earlier time in their silo, so they will be used first.
-Assignment can go until 0059 and be considered same day, no longer 2359.
