A day on reserve is a day worked, whether I put on a uniform or not. Also in my current category, even with the alv cut, I could still fly 2x6 day trips, which is a normal schedule.

I don't disagree that we could have negotiated that and I would 100% have expected them to do that. The words I was passed from a squadronmate who attended a LEC meeting, was that this wasn't the case.
