And too top this off, myself and bunch of other folks were just converted from long call back to short call for the remainder of the month. However, this may be in anticipation of a line of weather that is expected to move through over the next 48 hours.
Ok first of all make sure you aren't looking at credit time, you need to look at block hours. The reserves (with exception to maybe a couple) aren't blocking more then 40 -50. Credit time is changed with rigs, pcs, and vacations.
Second, they will always always always convert you to short call!!! there could be 60000 reserves and they would claim low coverage. They did this before the furlough, they will do it after the furlough and they will do it forever until we get language in are contract prevents them from abusing they powers of conversion. This has been a problem since we got long call, they do it because they can....
One last thing, please remember we have had tons of weather this month that is somewhat unusual. this may cause reserves to be used a little more. We also have guys at Flight Safety doing transitions and taking them offline.
