I’m a little familiar with the current setup, from friends hired prior to me as well as a little study of the contract and the reserve compass. I haven’t studied too much, since I keep hearing it’s changing soon and I’m focusing on newhire training anyway.
I guess what I’m getting at, if it can be kept brief, what are the big change(s), and do you think it’ll be overall more negative? My only references are regional reserve (hellacious) and ULCC reserve in base (cake walk, barely got used). I’ll be a commuter for at least 10-11 more months, February hire.

For example, if a 3 day trip is in open time, someone senior with 3 days will get called over someone junior with 2. If there’s multiple people with 3 days available, the junior one will get it. There’s strategies for senior people to never fly using the new system.

Right now, you get grouped by how much you’ve flown and get called in reverse seniority.

For example, if a 3 day trip is in open time, someone senior with 3 days will get called over someone junior with 2. If there’s multiple people with 3 days available, the junior one will get it. There’s strategies for senior people to never fly using the new system.
