I know reserve gets you 17days awarded and the call out times vary but that's about it. I have 2 kids so flexibility of my schedule is a big consideration when bidding. Thank you.
Welcome to AA we are happy to have you. The answer is “it’s a b*tch”. Not only do you have to manually find a trade partner but then you have to manually call scheduling to make the swap. Can’t drop days unless it comes out of next years vacation. We have some of the worst IT I’ve ever seen. Incredible that SkyWest has a better system. end rant. Having said all that the reserve system is great if you’re senior. Unfortunately you’ll be worked quite a bit until you breach that 80% in base number. The good news is our worthless association was able to keep 85 hours max so you’ll never be worked more than that.
Anyway, welcome aboard.
