Questions for the wide body reserve guys:
-How often are you flying on long/short call?
-Commuters... when sitting a 6 day block of short call, are you able to get released from that block early (day 5 for ex) since all the trips are 3 days?
-Any advice for commuting to long call?

I just got a 4 day trip. Pays 3 days cause it ends in a red eye. 15:59 duty day on day 1.
Ends up getting in at 6am on my day off.
Still considered a day off in the eyes of APA and the company.
Reserve needs to get a whole lot better in the next contract. How you can work almost everyday on reserve and not break guarantee? It’s APA math.

Yes I did the survey And called APA to share my disappointment. Reality is, we have no reserve rules.
Anything we fly over 4:22 in a day is free.
16 hours for them to find us something.
This 4 day trip is worth 18 hours.
It’s over 4 days. We need that 5 hours min day.
Not trip credit. Because as you can see they credit our trips 3 hours in the first day. 7 for the second. So if you have a two day trip. They can add a round trip onto your schedule and you get nothing extra.

Edit: I have no doubt there is some loop hole that lets them.

Section 15 of contract. Section L Filling of Open Time 3. Filling of Open Time -Basic Rules d. "Unless a Reserve Pilot is the only QLA Pilot, Reserve pilots awarded/assigned FDP's will be buffered with thirty (30) minutes from FAR 117 FDP limitations measured from the beginning of a pilot's Scheduled RAP if on Short Call Duty, or from the sequence sign-in if on Long Call Duty. This provision may be waived with Pilot consent."
Just hasn’t been implemented yet.
Yes. A contract that is amendable in a year and a half. Still has sections not implemented.
