Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe reserve is much longer at JB on the 320 out of FLL and MCO? I would assume that’s why JB spent time negotiating certain reserve rules?
I think it’s about 2-3 years after upgrade on the NK side (at best) to a line. So something like 5-6 year seniority at the company in total for a junior line? At the moment, our junior CAs get used a ton in the FL bases so they regularly credit 100+ a month. Some super senior guys bud reserve and don’t generally don’t fly at all (RAP dependent).
I think the challenge for both pilot groups is trying to agree on a JCBA when we have no idea what the pairings will be constructed and how reserve pilots would be utilized within their buckets/silos
