Nobody cares that much about reserves, it’s just a focal point for the section 3 peops. In aggregate I’d say this is better than what we have, but the lack of pace with inflation, combined with some very prominent “gives (including some of the bizarre LCA changes), makes this an obvious “NO,” for everyone outside of TK.
I honestly can’t understand how the company or union thought this would help Unfilled CA positions. I didn’t want to believe the union could be this ignorant, but here we are.
It’s not just reserves who get screwed in this TA. Lineholders are the new reserves. Reassignments moved up to step 2. So every leg through a base would be a crap shoot whether or not you’ll be pulled off your trip for nothing since it not only moves untriggered reassignments from Step 5 to Step 2 but also takes away the 125% add pay if they do it. So you did your time on reserve, managed to become a lineholder, but now you’re essentially a ready reserve each time you land in a domicile. WTF?
