What will happen if there is a one day trip open with no-one in the one day bucket? It will go to a 2-day bucket pilot. What happens when there is a 3-day trip open with no-one in the 3-day bucket? It'll go to a 4-day bucket pilot. There may be a few 3 and 4 day trips open during DOCT, but after that, trips that pop open outside DOTC are usually trips that have fallen apart in the 1 or 2 day flavor.

You can pad GTD with cushy stuff and avoid a lot of the nonsense associated with reserve if you know what you are doing even a little bit. There will always be crap you don't want to do on reserve that's part of the game unfortunately. Our system right now allows you to avoid the worst case more often than not. The bucket system that AA is going to use will function exactly the way it does at the WO. It sucks at all 3 and will suck at AA. They use the same people and the same strategies at mainline now that they have been at the WO since the merger. They promote from within. This will be a massive QoL hit to reserves. O btw, AA carries the highest % reserve in the industry. |

Ok but that's not how it works at AA right now. It's much better. Especially if you can hold max 3 day blocks.

Why? Sr people will be able to pass much more under this system since there is no consideration of GTD (time flown for non AA folks) so they will always be at the bottom of their respective bucket. As opposed to now, when they will be first to go if they have flown less than Jr pilots. I think Sr will like this, everyone else…a push or loss.

No-one should be volunteering for straight OG. If they want us to work on off time, make them pay for it!
