Maybe we some sort of no-fly lines where some pilots get to stay home for MMG or 50 hours and not get called at all and no need for reserve (great for slower months and maybe busy months too). Just a few ideas off the top of my head.
I do think there’s a way for all of us to win though. As much as I, and many other NK pilots that I talk to/fly with, are nervous about our QOL in the JCBA, we are hopeful and excited for the merger
Um NO! A reserve can drop or swap IN SENIORITY ORDER, during the seniority windows, and first come first serve during the FCFS windows. And that is NOT going to change. You're just not getting it. It's not going to happen.
