VTO's and reserve will just be flying instead of sitting. No extra dollars for anyone, unless you count per-diem for the reserve guys.
It's o.k. because they have "always done it"? How do YOU figure? They have taken the UNPRECEDENTED step of paying less than the CBA allows. It was o.k. as long as they kept their word to pay us at minimum CBA hours to support the unnecessary C/O habit.
They are varying C/O by bid pack to achieve relatively even low line averages. They could build MD11 bid packs at higher averages if they took care of C/O. If you don't understand that, e-mail the SIG. I'm sure they could explain.
The company doesn't want to cap guys at a credit hr limit per month either, even if it is at a lofty 90-100 hrs. That would create more lines and raise pay for everyone else. That should tell you all you need to know to connect the dots.
You really think the only affect to Reserves is that they will fly more? It's all about the pay per day.
