For what it's worth, at US if you end up with more than 6 days in a row on call, the company gives you an "illegal" day. So you are never on reserve for more than 6 days. Maybe there is a chance we'll keep something similar to this in the JCBA.

I may be off, but I think SWA reserves get 15 days off and can pick up open time on their days off. This allows the aggresive flyers to pick the open time that would normally go to a reserve that does not want a trip. The pilots win because they have more time off. The company wins because there are less open trips that need coverage. Why hasn't anyone duplicated this?

Why give so many days off when you can give much fewer and just have those pilots be on reserve instead and force them to fly if you want?

Honestly we should work on a max reserve 4 or 5 days in a row. Reserve lines should be 4 on 3 off.

Our new contract says reserves will be allowed to pick up a trip on their days off.

This will NEVER happen. Only when CS allows it, and only the ultra senior reserves will get to do this. And it will ONLY be once in a BLUE MOON!

DFW S80 is a large bid status. Maybe on a holiday weekend they will do this (allow reserves to pcik up a trip on their day off) But to my knowledge since Jan 1 2013 NOT ONCE HAS THIS HAPPENED.

Summer vacation at AA is ultra senior. Perhaps it may happen this summer, but only once if that.

Hey 7576FO, would you mind if I PM'd you with some Qs, mostly unrelated to this thread?

Such as...

Whats your favorite color?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
Want to come to my bbq on saturday?

Everyone else gets a meme and I get made fun of??

:(:(:confused:

P.S. How was the routine of milking cows discovered?

LOL....What?

7576,

It hasn't been implemented yet. Coming shortly, and all will be able to do it. Just like everything else, AMR has only implemented what benefits them, on their own timing.
