--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. we dont have to dig around check an excel spreadsheet anymore...and the company cant restart the process to. capture trips becoming available like they do today. at 0300, anything that becomes available must go to open time. probably won't see delays...but its JB
-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. Never thought of this as a con personally. Not being able to convert more than 5 times seems like a pro to me, and this will cover a crashedpad.
-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). This will impact us less since number of cancels to meet Level 2-3 IROP have been increased
-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. Lineholders can now drop...say...a 2-day that ends on day 3 at 0030, without the reserve grid for that day 3 needing to be green. that was always kind of BS.
Tex
-Day off encroachment if delayed past 0300.
This one is kind of big. If you're delayed past 0100, you trigger the calendar day toward the ADG (albeit toward guarantee) and then at 0300 you get either play over guarantee or a comp day off. Can't say I've seen that anywhere.
Couple more things that were missed.
-6/on 2 off is waivable and the company has to manage 30 hours off
-if a LCR gets assignment in DRO @ 0800 on day 1 for day 2, lets say at noon...they are done until report time of that pairing. no obligation to answer CS any longer.
Also, I commented on some background on the items above and why they are what they are, I asked about these at BOS roadshow.
There are a lot of games to play for reserves with this new system - both for LC and SC. I'm a reserve and want them for myself, so I'm not going to share them
...but read carefully.
