Global reserve is just such an odd and extreme outlier (from what I know of it) that it’s really a head-scratcher. And to think your team was entertaining an 0600 start on day one…even more confusing.
Maybe this is just what different airline cultures look like?
It’s BK era rsv rules that we didn’t get addressed in our merger contract with lCAL. Much is “because they can” and it’s almost punitive lately. We used to actually have Long Call but it’s rare lately. Our TA was a failed attempt to get TI elected and 94% of us soundly rejected it. Essentially 6% who were retiring soon and afraid our retro wouldn’t actually be real retro with back pay to the people who earned it and have since retired vs just giving cash to those currently on property :P. (Just having fun and I don’t want to get involved in DALs AIP)
I have no excuse for our reserve system. It sucks no 2 ways around it. With our LEC recalls the no crowd to the Tumi TA is now in the majority and our MC has tendered his resignation due to a family matter so we’re slowly working it out as you guys did with TA1 in 2015?
