agreed, can't hold a line anywhere except for NYC and that will never happen. but this current system makes commuting to reserve the worst experience yet bc of the aforementioned reasons. ALPA fix this s___!
if you were lucky enough to get one of those late RAPs you were essentially off for the day and not legal for the am pushes the following day.
lastly, the old contract had a ratio of shortcalls to longcalls, they couldn't arbitrarily place the entire pool into shortcalls as I have seen them
do here.
it's really too bad there was such a hurry in putting this last contract together, we all couldve benefited from some more drawn out strategy of renegotiating scope, DC, pay and work rules.
