- recent changes but RSV not allowed to pick up sim seat sub in open time.
- If a RSV is allowed to pick up open time, once they pick up they can not trade or drop that trip.
- No red eye override. Red eye goes JR and there is a lot of green on green red eye flying. IMO this is a safety issue.
Concur redeye over-ride, that should include scheduling credit... folks forced into (or choosing) constant WOCL should not have to work as much block as 9-5 pilots.
But green on green is an FAR thing, the company has to fix that with reserves. Not sure how PBS will address that, probably not at all since it can't predict exactly when a green pilot will get off green status.
