Oh wow yeah I forgot that massive improvement in our rules where we gained an extra 30 minutes on short call. My bad.The last time I did a deep dive on other airline's contracts was when reserves were kicked in balls with a complete over reaction and blocked out of picking up on days off. Since that work rule hasn't even made it into the contract. Fun fact: our 15 minute call back rule is just a handshake agreement as well. There is no defining protections for reserve in the CBA when it comes to a missed call. I don't have time to pour over contracts again just to counter your cherry picking of living in the base of golden children. You have to have empathy for other people that for example can not trade a single day of reserve due to staffing. Trading days up to 24 hrs in advance means nothing when you can't trade days at all.
