What's funny about this industry is how some choose to be junior in category repeatedly throughout thier career until the very end, but hey, someone has to be junior. At the end of the day, we are all just cogs in the machine.

one of my few complaints working here is our scheduling department, they love to violate the contract and some times it even feels like they go out of there way to screw with us.

Can you give an example of screwing with a lineholder?
And as for reserves, are we not overstaffed? Seems like the reserves I come across say they aren't being used much on reserve. Unless you're referring to LCR converted to SCR and then just sitting in a crashpad while away from home. That does suck, but not sure that's an Alaska problem.

I haven’t spoken to scheduling in months…
Middle to junior line holder, not sure what you’re getting at. Am I just lucky?
