Not digging on ual, just showing that aa isnt near as bad as aa guys think it is. Plus no hat at AA. Now let me go back to figuring out what to spend my profit sharing on this year: tube socks or underwear.
You can drop down to zero now. An LOA was put out about 2 years ago.
Don’t disagree about chasing the seniority. Reserve is hit or miss. Yes we have field STBY, but as a full time reserve, I’ve only done it twice-also hit or miss. We need improvements in our reserve rules. I don’t know what your commuter policy is, but I don’t have a problem with ours, two flights, can’t get on the first, call scheduling-sometimes they positive space you, sometimes they call in a reserve.
I’m not sure what you mean by mega base. You can go pretty much anywhere in the system within 6 months now.
