I did. As a reserve pilot, I pull far ahead. They can only milk it by picking up green slips on days off, which are seniority based. Junior guy can probably forget it. If they pick up a pure regular pay open time trip on days off, it doesn’t go for extra pay only. It just fills their reserve bucket for flight hours and helps them get their monthly max sooner.

AS is the only major I’ve seen so far where a reserve pilot can just go randomly into opentime as soon as it opens up, and just do a pure addon to their days off for extra pay on TOP of guarantee.

Good nugget not many other airlines have. As a line holder, this year I have yet to have a month under 100 hrs credit, and I typically pull that off with about 14-15 days off.
