Just accept it and stop trying to manipulate the system. The system sucks and is designed to keep us from breaking guarantee. If that's not enough money for you, then think about that when you vote for the next contract that ALPA jams down our throats. I made less than 80,000 last year on third year pay on the Airbus (I don't count per diem as money). It's not that they can't use you. They won't because there are reserve pilots out there with less time than you. In ATL on the MD-88, there are on average 2-3 trips a day awarded to reserves with about 10/day awarded to white slipping line holders. There's usually 40-50 pilots on reserve per day FWIW. As a reserve pilot, you are a second class citizen. Don't even get me started on my ALPA buddy banking 90 hours/month by white slipping trips, then dropping them for ALPA business. Rant over.
