Valid points
Valid about being on reserve flydiamond however, one could argue that the grid should always be green unless an irop occurs. The grid is to be able to not just drop and pick up but, to also drop and or swap days of rsv. Again, the grid stayed red for most of towop when we were overstaffed. Yes, the point about bringing other reserves in is valid. Tick the box on “reserve at other bases”, I think is what is says in PBS. They’ll have to pos space you and get you a hotel.
I think they are abusing their control and are using the grid against us. They’ll want something in return for any release of control of that grid but again, it goes against foundations of flight and core principles. I wonder if a call to the ethics hotline, on the website, would help?
