Bullet points are a lot more choice for RSVs in the AIP.
-13-14 days off per month.
-LCR 14-18hour callout depending on time of day. (To account for commuting flexibility.)
-Company obligated to offer some number of pure LCR lines- can’t be converted to SC.
-Option to bid for RSV lines with greater company utilization (e.g., early assignment times, short call conversions, etc.) for more pay. (Short call lines pay around high 70s, early show lines low-mid 80s)
-FSB is voluntary pickup only at 3hrs add pay
-Unused short calls pay 1 hour ea.
-Add pay matrix for picking up trips & assignments that show before 10am.
-Some flexibility to drop/pickup/trade RSV days.
There’s a lot more but that’s the brief picture. Final language will be important on a lot of these items.
