Meh. Reserve isn't bad at all.

just wait until the new reserve computer and assignment system gets activated, it will destroy most of what we like about our current reserve system.

I heard from few AA pilots that some senior guys bid reserve and they never get to fly,
So basically spend the whole month on reserve, never fly and every 3 months go to the Sim to do landing recency.
Furthermore, even being on reserve for 3
Months without flying they still get the minimum guarantee.

Does anyone know if that’s true at AA?

Cheers

Definitely not true for NB pilots. Sounds like a WB thing.

You’ll probably get to CLT in the same vacancy bid no matter what. You’ll probably move up seniority quicker if you’re on the 737. However, having flown both myself, the Airbus is better in almost every facet. The 737 has a better FMS (IMO), can fly higher, and the auto descend VNAV at TOD is great but that’s about it.

This is true I bid SC NB and I never fly. 4 landings this month

Um..no. How could it possibly change things from now? (answer: it won't)

When properly staffed, sort of. It isn't that much time off, but you certainly do not fly every day. There are quite a few senior pilots that bid reserve on 321/737 and fly 40 or fewer hours per month and still get 76 hours. But since we are not staffed properly right now, it is not the case.

With that said, pilots that have a vacation in a month tend to bid reserve because it is the best play.

It’s true for the WB.
