Wait can you clarify that? He's on reserve but he got awarded trips and more than 13 days off? What am I missing here

Sorry for the miscommunication. My FO was on reserve for this month (July) and did not bid for any trips in August as he expected reserve. He was awarded a set of trips, for August, with 17 total off and a ten day block in a row off at the end of the month. He was happy about it as he has something to go to near the end of the month with his fiance'.

...and looking at his trips again there are a pair of 24hr overnights which will move his credit up from 77:35 to 84:35 as we (the VX side) still get our 3:30 credit for a 24hr layover. Alaska pilots get zip as we all will come later this year. What a sh#t contract.

Slight amendment to your writing: Alternate Lines of Flying (ALF); base still closes as scheduled....

I assume they will create as many ALF’s as there are takers. Hopefully it will accomodate everyone affected

Reserve Rules at Alaska

If you are on long call you get 12 (midnight to midnight) calendar days off!! And you get to FLY everyday of Reserve!!!!!! It’s the best!!!!!! Also mainline capacity grew 5.2% in Q2 while Outsourced CPA flying grew 15.9%!!!!!!
