Ok reserve fun at PSA:
-Get called the night before short call and converted to 0445 hot reserve
-show up to the airport and don't forget to call scheduling to check in and out like a grade schooler. It's not in the contract, but there Union let's them do it.
-have them tell you that they're putting you in a cab to drive to another base to work a repo.
-ask if there are any reserves in that base who could do it and now you're questioning schedulings authority over you, that earns you extra hot reserve the next few days.
-there's a first out last out bid, but the contract language doesn't force scheduling to use it, and if you bring it up while scheduling is trying to assign you something now we're back to questioning their authority again, enjoy sitting hot.
-by this point you might be saying well I'll email my Union rep to see what they can do. After five or six emails without a response you realize that most of the base representatives are close enough to flowing to not care in the slightest about those beneath them on the seniority list. It's been around 6 months since we've had any official Union information other than telling us to straighten up and do what the company says.
End of the day it's your call as to where you go, but there's a reason everyone says we have the worst reserve rules in the industry.
