The text alerts are too slow to be able to pick up anything worthwhile since others are watching it too.
2. A CRJ pilot who gets called out on reserve to fly the 700/900 gets the override pay added to their check even if not breaking guarantee
3. A five day bucket is mostly wasted, but if a 4 day trip shows up on day one of your bucket they usually don't call out anyone in less than a 4 day bucket, so everyone in those lower buckets don't need to be used before you get called.
1. I was not talking about working more, all i was saying is that the limitation is gone for line holders. No one can pick up anything, i was a line holder and due to personal preference i bid for reserve and i would do 120+ hours a month, all pre covid. That is not what i am talking about now though.
2. Again, you are not paying attention, when you do not fly you get soft time and that is 200 pay. There is barely any flying for reserves, i think i can go back from May to December and i have done perhaps 200h (probably less) on the 700.
3. They cannot give a 4 day trip to a 3 day bucket, you are not legan for it. And in order for them to give a 4 day trip to a 5 day bucket, they need to exhaust every single 4 day reserve, this per PPM. But lets say a 1 day comes up, they would need to use every single reserve to get to the 5 day bucket.
