Once again more of a staffing issue then a reserve issue. Some have issues with the 2.5 hr callout but it’s an improvement over the old 2 hr rule still tuff for some to make it.. In the summer months I prefer to be on reserve weekends off, I VDA my days off. I often get calls for 1 day of VDA into a reserve block the math works out nicely. Many summer months I can do better then I would with a Junior line and work half as much.. Its a hard pill for some to swallow that JB will always be “understaffed” in some’s opinion.
Whats your relative seniority?
Im 80% in seat/base. I’ve only had the phone ring for a VDA once. I figured I needed a couple more years before that started happening with regularity.
