Ok everyone. This is all speculation till we see what is actually in the contract. To anyone who hasn't experienced a TA yet, it takes time. Patience grasshopper.

As for all those saying they have a hard no criteria, be careful, there maybe some interesting gems that could tempt you.

Then the reserve rules. Yes, I agree they are probably at the bottom of the industry. This was my #1 input on the survey that happened years ago--yes we had a survey, but it was a long time ago. Many of you have been hired since and have not seen one. As the airline goes more junior every day with more new hires, a good problem, the priorities of the NC and MEC should reflect the changes. hopefully. As we have all seen reserve is sometimes not a choice. Even with the rules we have, if there can be some accountability and limits put on the crew desk, with minimal changes, and a very small cost to the company, would yield large improvements in QOL on reserve.

So, no, we are not likely to see a complete overhaul to the reserve rules. I do expect some tweaks to improve QOL. But my crystal ball is a little murky here. Patience.
