Dont forget that Envoy has actual transparency in their reserve where crew can see what place they are in line and estimate if they are going to get called in. Makes for a much better QoL when at home with the family. It is absolutely true that senior guys bid reserve last out to have more family time. The transparency here is a joke. I'd say PSA has a worse reserve system as a whole.

Now let's get serious for a moment here. We are in the best position in decades to push for considerable increases to QoL and I feel that accepting the status quo right now is a slap in the face not only to folks that have lived through the economic turn but more importantly to the people who are just getting started. We all need to be pulling in the same direction and pushing for changes to reserve/work rules, pay, etc. Get as much as we can now before we lose leverage. I've worked at better places and I've worked at worse. It's not about PSA being the worst, its about how we can make it so much better. The time is now yet the union is silent and dragging feet imo. We're force upgrading/displacing people out of base. That's a big hit to QoL for some people. If corporate sincerely wants to be the most respected regional airline they would respect the pilot (as well as FA) group and be eager to lead the industry. Happy employees = happy passengers, just ask SWA.

I dont care if you worked construction, shovled sh!t, or landscaping, we all worked hard to get here and should demand to be compensated appropriately.

Sometimes I wonder who's team some of you are really on.
