How many other majors can arbitrarily increase the number of reserves and required reserves, taking away lines and making it impossible to drop a single trip?

Hotel language is good. Soft pay is pretty good. Crew meals/ground transportation/hotel walk ability is good.

Days off/day off protection is abysmal and frankly no amount of add pay makes up for having plans on my day off robbed for company convenience. We have a ton of awesome little things for events that either rarely happen (hotel walks) or aren’t really worth a ton of money (dry cleaning), but we have very poor protections for our schedule and for our home lives.

I told a friend at delta about global reserve and they looked at me like I was insane. Then I told them about how you can get reassigned until 11:59 on a day off even if the company can get you back to base and I thought their head was going to explode. There is no reason getting an EDCT on your last day, misconnecting for your final turn, should allow the company to pull you off your last turn and assign you an overnight.

I shouldn’t have to bid for an extra day off before my plans just in case the company decides that their inability to staff is my problem and they decide to rob my day off so I can cover an inefficient PIT overnight for an extra 5 hours of pay.
Exactly! Don't forget field standby... I am actually surprised just how many United pilots are not aware how bad some of the bits of the contract are, even compared to the regionals.
Over half of United pilots have less than 14 days off. That's not an industry standard...
