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.
You mean in your whole year at United? 😆YMMV, but it’s been over a year for me being reassigned at all (NB). That also also happened to be into a day off. Most people I fly with say it’s pretty infrequent for them as well. Yet new hires here make it sound like it’s every trip. 🤷♂️
