What, if anything, would be the cost to overhaul our current system? I’m not trying to stir the pot, I’m actually curious what people want, and what they think is a realistic expectation.
Without tying to negotiate in public, LCR here is a non existant joke. Everyone is on long call, but literally no one, in any, fleet any seat, is on long call. AMR and maybe DAL (not positive on DAL) doesn't have FSB. We have them left and right. Rolling SCs, constantly changing SC windows, SCs and FSBs popping up at literally ALL TIMES OF DAY because the next coordinator sees someone on LCR sitting at home and can't have that. Those are just some of the issues.
I don't know about cost but even AMRs reserve system would be a win. Delta is only convertible to SC so many times a month. Anything would be better than the current system. I like our current contract overall. But the reality is, reserve was better in the RJ world I was in and im fortunate enough here to be off RSV and say I'd never bid it again on anything under the current rules. But the excuse RSV is a choice is a selfish one said by selfish people who are usually past reserve on any fleet.
