It's full of holes and vague language that the company takes advantage of. Combine that with a Union that traded first officer seniority and quality of life for a small bump in flow that mainly benefited the guys running the Union, and you can start to put the pieces together.
We were supposed to get "improved" reserve rules over a year ago, but so far zero progress has been made.
Oh and also you'll spend a lot of time on reserve sitting around doing nothing on reserve since we're so overstaffed.
As for flow I'm in the top third of the seniority list and I'm looking at at least 4 years left to flow. A new hire these days is probably looking at 8-10 years.
