Clearly DENpilot as no idea what he's talking about.

You check in via phone or internet within 2 to 24 hours of the start of your trip. When you check in, scheduling can notify you of changes to your trip. Ex/addition of flying, roundtrips that have been dropped, or an entirely new pairing if they so desire.

The only glimmer of "good" in this is that we now are pay protected on our awarded trips, and are paid 200% on top of our scheduled flying for re-assignments.

DENpilot was attempting to say that it was good for reserves, in the sense that scheduling would know about uncovered flying sooner. What he failed to mention is that RSV guys will have to call in before each reserve day, and sit on hold to talk to a scheduler. Senior guys who are awarded day trips will have to call in before each trip as well.

DENpilot - you've delt with our crew trackers; what makes you think this will change how they operate? They will still call last minute, and not realize uncovered flying until no one but a ready reserve can fly the trip.
