Every plan I’ve ever made for a day after my work block I always make it conditional (at least in my own mind). Wx happens, Mx happens, EWR happens. You could be flying RJs, 73’s or 787’s we all miss things.
I’d much prefer for the company to have to pay extra, but from a QOL perspective, I doubt that WB reserves miss more days off than NB. I think we should (and probably will) get some improvements in a new contract. I just seem to disagree with the overall impression on APC that Global Reserve is some dystopian hellscape. That hasn’t been my experience.
I’ve never once been rolled into a day off on Global Reserve, but I’ve missed plenty of days off as a NB lineholder. Maybe I’ve just been lucky.
