Drop to zero and pick up trips for 200%.
Reserves able to pick up 200% trips on days off.
Hang together and get the best of both world. Obviously the best negotiating environment since Orville and Wilbur.
Reserves at B6 are able to pick up premium trips on days off too( VDA 200%, RSA 150/175%, premium 150%). The only thing we advise new hires against is picking up straight trips (100%) on reserve, unless they already broke guarantee for that month. Else that straight pick up will only go towards guarantee, basically working for free since you get nothing extra for it.
I do want our VDA system to be more equitable though. How NK does the cycling is a good option.
The drop to zero has been beaten to a pulp. If we aim for DTZ and only could save it to drop to like 30/40, I wouldn't be too mad. The real changer we need is NK green/red grid rules. If we get DTZ and no grid rules change, you NK guys are going to come to hate DTZ, since with our (B6) grid you won't be able to DTZ.
