No FSB's, unless proven use for irregular ops only (Hurricane, bomb cyclone, etc..).
SCs cannot be made after 1300, unless irregular ops.
Reserves should have higher MPG with more days off. 14 min days off vs 12.
Remove visiting reserve.
Cannot assign reserve into a line month, without day restoration.
Limit rolling days off.
Allow Reserves to pick up PP on days off or allow reserve the same %PP amount if having to wait after line holders haven't grabbed after a set time (15 mins).
I'm a NO without reserve fixes. This part of the UPA was supposed to be fixed for this round of negotiations. Nothing was accomplished.
How do you staff short notice changes under your plan? Delay a flight until a short call reserve can get to the gate? Weaken line holder reassignment rules to cover last minute changes? Honest questions. Reading the various post on this site, it seems that reserve rules are the most important part of any contract. They are important, but they definitely don’t top the list.
