People just don't use the resources we have and then whine about not being able to manipulate their schedule. APA App is awesome.
I fly Gucci trips I have no business flying because I know how to use the app and send a text message. It ain’t rocket surgery. If some of you (Suss?) stopped sport bit¢hing and actually learned how to work the system you’d realize this job is only as hard as you make it for yourself. |

is there a WhatsApp or Facebook group where reserve guys/gals can trade reserve days amongst themselves using the rsv trade form?
Probably obvious, but you should start by getting smart on PBS to maximize your chances of desired days off/work block length. If you don’t know the criteria that will make PBS autofail a layer, or what the 2 reserve waivers do/when to select them, there’s a great (dense) PBS user guide on comply. |

What does it matter though? You put in for the trip and someone senior proffers too and gets it, or you proffer, someone senior proffers 5 minutes before the run and still gets it and you didn’t know either way.
As far as TTS what’s on this person’s ballot..? You either have a trip they want or you don’t. Ballot their trip and if you get it (or not) you’ll find out I guess. I just don’t see the need is all. If I see a trip in OT that I would take for MU that I’m sure someone senior wants for premium, I make a premium ballot and a straight time ballot. If they knew I had a straight time ballot they’d probably take their premium out. Don’t hate the player.. or something like that. Before we argue PM vs MU, that’s a contractual battle, not with your fellow pilot. I agree with the rest of your post. |
Reserve flexibility can be summed up simply as:
There is none as a junior pilot. 12 days off, you will get used a lot, and your days off aren't really days off with the exception of 4 a month. Enjoy |

How are trips assigned? Is it seniority or credit-balanced/first in-first out?
At my current airline a pairing is assigned to the most junior pilot who is legal and available, unless a senior pilot preferenced "call me first". Only after a reserve has accumulated credit to min guarantee do they start assigning based on credit. Also, it sounds like if you live local and don't want to work the method is to bid short call. Is that correct? |
