I'm not a new hire, nor a jr. NB CA, so no, I'm not doing 90 hour lines with min days off. What excuse exactly am I making and for what? Seems like you have a lot of opinions about united's work rules for having never worked here and being a new hire at delta. You like to talk a lot about FSB. So, what would you rather do (as a commuter). Commute in, sit a 4 hour block at the airport and commute home or sit 10 hours in a crash pad on SC and probably have to commute in a day before or commute out a day after? Also, what exactly do you think is the average amount of FSBs that one is assigned in a given month? I can tell you that system wide, the three month rolling average per person on reserve that was assigned an FSB on a NB was less than 1. So, what exactly is the huge improvement to be made by eliminating FSB? The only improvement there I see is to locals who tend to be the ones more likely to sit reserve and don't want to drive to the airport. I get that, but painting it as some huge travesty is just APC drama. The vast majority of us are lineholders and to give up our reassignment protection is foolish for what amounts to a pretty small gain in that aspect of reserve. There are much bigger things like SC/FSB caps that actually improve reserve the have already been agreed to and ending involuntary FSB has been agreed to as well according to our MEC's e-mail today. We'll see how that plays out on our reassignment rules. Be careful what you wish for...
