Which is it? Reserve system issues or this asinine proposal that will blatantly violate seniority that inhibits pilot flexibility? You say fail, but I have had 2 pilots in as many days that have told me that another pilot.. out of the blue... called them and asked them to park a trip on their line. They didn't even know the guy. You don't think that this would be ripe for abuse? Obviously you are senior in your category so this would be awesome for you. As a junior pilot, I cannot hold the same seat in ATL or SLC or several other bases. I am based in NY. I CHOSE to be based in NY. It is not fair to allow guys from other bases to be able to come in and snipe open time trips via this method when they should go to a reserve in this base. Ths ultimate result of this garbage is that it will ultimately result in a reduced need for reserves in a given category. Don't think that will happen? Do you want to take that chance or are you in pull up the ladder mode? and.. what is RUO?
