btw, maybe you can answer since the union cannot. I thought under this system the Airline would use less reserves? Whatever happened to that line of bull****? Probably went the same place as when the union told us that RDW would be the great equalizer outside DOTC. lol, keep drinking the kool aid
So…you were on reserve, but diabolical entry level crew scheduler “purposely didn’t use you” (bypassed you and gave a trip you wanted to a junior pilot? gave it out in PM? Gave it to someone senior to you - maybe that pilot balloted for it? — who knows, you still won’t say…) in order to “save” your hours for a later block, even though they would have no idea what trips would be available at that later block or what you would preference for. Got it. Laughable.
Either way, even If this DID happen, a quick call to CS and you could have been paid for the trip (or gotten the credit if you hadn’t broken guarantee yet) to sit at home. Huge win. Your loss, I guess.
both CS and the union are available to explain reserve awards/assignments pretty much 24/7 (union the following day if it’s after hours but they can still look it up). Try it out.
no koolaid here, hold their feet to the fire. If you let them get away with something they shouldn’t have, you’re just doing the entire pilot force a disservice.
