Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!! If there are pilots out there that want to fly 80+ hours/month then have at it. I'm more than happy to fly ALV or less (I usually put in min time for my bid) every month. I know I'm in the minority on this one - I don't mind high credit/long layover/low productivity trips. Also, I like the fact that we can fly as little as we want (no limit on dropping trips as long as there are reserves available - United requires a minimum of 55 hours/month for line holders - no exceptions). For guys that like SWA contract their reserves FLY a lot (no more one-two trips/month). I know reserves like to complain when they fly a lot BUT how about those one/two trip months. That being said, Reserve rules need some modification, especially some transparency on SC/LC availability/assignment criteria. It's possible I may be back on reserve one day and I think the WHOLE PWA needs to be good.
