What is a “senior” schedule? High credit day trips? Commutable 4day? 24hr layover in AUA 2day? It’s subjective and we each have our own priority. Mine (and many others at JB) chose RSV and will fight to get the best work rules as possible. Everything is important.
The reality is that the biggest thing facing both pilot groups are behavioral items. Pay raises and profit sharing is a black and white in the sense that it doesn’t depend on how a pilot behaves, they’ll get the pay and the profit sharing.
Behavioral items like our reserve rules is what allows our line holders to drop trips without a threshold credit restriction or tell the company to kick sand when they up us to depart prior to 3 hours while on SCR.
Learning not only the work rules, but also how life would look like under certain work rules, and if that’s conducive to how we want to go about things in the future.
I was told that folks on reserve in JB don’t know their RAP until the day prior. If that’s true, thats’s a no-go for guys that bid reserve on purpose here.
I’m interested to see how we approach this as two groups trying to be one.
