How much is short call vs. long call? Does long call go senior?
And, this is not for the email quoted above, but a gotcha example would have been if you all said the company just made more days red and tried to make the union deal with it.
1. Totally depends on base, but I would think right around a year in most of them, perhaps close to 1.5-2 years in the senior bases. This obviously will change if the hiring/aircraft order predictions come true, in which case that number would go down.
2. I would think it is close to 80/20 SC/LC. LC goes senior in my base.
Dont get me wrong, I am not saying that these are deal breakers for coming here, but the reserve rules could be improved.
1. Allow us a certain amount of reserve days a year to drop, or even better (x) amount of reserve blocks to drop. It would be nice to know that you could get your kids birthday or a friends wedding off in advance rather than hope and pray you get lucky with bidding. Sure, if its your wedding the chiefs will let you drop apparently but there are more events in most of our lives we would like off.
2. The bucket system is not fun, reserve should go out in seniority order.
