As far as the rest I'm sure you will figure it out yourself and figure it's not that bad compared to the 'stan'.
But for those of without that frame of reference, most RSV (reserve) schedules are known for the entire month. Here at Bluejet we traded giving the company the flexibility to assign RAPs (reserve availability periods) day before (ie Monday for Tuesday) for the hope that we could move, drop reserve days for QOL (quality of life).
Then ALPA local sold the sizzle but not the burn.
Not national our local guys!!!
So not only did the company retain the flexibility to assign your RAP on a DIALY basis (instead on monthly) they have the ability to change the RAP once assigned (new) and our ability to move or drop is now severely limited thanks to the LCR and SCR 1, 2, 3, and 4 day buffers being implemented (new). This affects lienholders too.
The two (new) potentially just wreaked RSV (reserve) and lienholder QOL without a peep from our ALPA local guys who sold this as a QOL contract. BTW when you read section 25 take a marking pen to the first paragraph. Its a BS and will never be implemented.
Oh well, they call we fly. Except now they call and change your RAP and then fly without the 'go pill'.
Look up FTG and FRE on your own!!
So yes it better than the 'stan' but so are a lot of things.
And sincerely thanks for your service!
Ok thanks for that good info. So, for example, you are saying this: I could be sitting at my home in the middle of Georgia on a day off that was a scheduled day off per my awarded monthly rsv schedule and the company could contact me on this day off and tell me I have to be in BOS ready to take an assignment at 0800 the next day even if that day was my day off also? Essentially changing my schedule and giving me zero predictability in my life and scrambling to get in place?
Or are you saying this: I commute into BOS to be in position for my scheduled rsv RAP. I get to BOS and they change the RAP from the morning to the evening or vice versa? And then continue changing it each day while I sit in a BOS crashpad? Then if I don't get assigned I go home at the end of my rsv stint?
