VDA needs total revamping. Don't hate the player but I hate the game. One dude shouldn't be able to make $700k/yr while dropping his schedule because he's senior and always gets called. If you're on VDA, get used , then you go to the bottom of the list until your name comes up again. Also needs more transparency. As someone said, we need to know what the trip is that we are volunteering to do on our time off. Quick DCA turn at 11pm to recover a flight? Yeah that could work. Fly down to the islands in a storm or do a transcon at midnight with zero knoweldge of what I'm accepting? Nope.
Reserve grids need to go. The CA reserve grid was already red in the first 48 add/drop window. How is that even possible?
