Well i was senior on the reserve list (when i wasnt holding a line) therefore was on longcall the majority of the time. Also under the NWA system you could get released alot earlier than 2 hours prior to the end of your call out time. I'd often get released by noon under the NWA system also which was nice if i had to sit SC. I'm just sayin.....

There are plus's and minus's to both systems but i dont expect you to understand that because you cant compare the 2. Some of you guys act like the DAL way is the perfect system and nothing else could be better. Is having a cap on SC days nice? You bet, but it was also nice to be able to get released halfway through your SC period if the operation was running fine (good wx, other reserves, etc). there's always room for improvement and hopefully we can recognize that come contract talk time.
