You can always do like I do... take LOA between off days, then you can still fly on either side of your reserve days and you keep health insurance and accrue longevity... essentially a part-time line!
Until it comes from CT/SH/BH's mouth/pen/keyboard I'll keep on keepin' on.
No I didn't, with things sounding like they may get worst, I can't take another month pay cut. LOAs had been a pain also, they want it 2 weeks ahead and not a day late. I had to call the cheif and get 3 days off because I want to buy a house and had to go to the bank and see my agent in the middle of the week. He ended up getting around it by giving me the 3 days off non-LOA. CPU. I may put in for LOAs next month once I see my award. A few days off w/o pay wont kill me. I think ALPA needs to look into who is awarding these COMAs and see if he/she is really awarding them to desired staffing levels. I know there are many people not getting them and yet they scream FAT.
