So why are you so bitter, did you take the first available upgrade knowing that reserve sucks, or are you to junior to hold a line? I'm trying to understand your rational. Reserve sucks anywhere.
This excuse is nonsense. Reserve isn’t supposed to suck and now is a perfect example of how you could’ve been a lineholder for YEARS and now could be on reserve for YEARS. US AIR had FOs that were there for decades that were on reserve involuntarily. I’ve been making this argument forever and people kept saying that was an exceptional time in the industry and we are a growth airline so... now the chickens have come home to roost.
Reserve isn’t necessarily about being junior or new. It’s just another type of schedule consisting of being of availability periods instead of trips.
