Default Fedex Rsv line

Is it me or do the reserve lines for July seem a bit more broken up than usual. Looks like at least 80% have 3 or 4 blocks of R days.

A little more junior harassment or what? Less pay per day is the first bonus and now 3-4 commutes per month on top. Great. I guess the SIG is not in the loop yet.

Don't complain too much - broken up R lines mean more opportunities for Draft or Volunteer calls

Also - when you call in sick they can only nail you for a short trip

You can! Bid a seat at 60% or better. Only new hires have to sit reserve.

But now that you are on reserve I agree, the multi-block lines are BS.

Bet you wouldn't have to sit reserve if you were holding the back seat of the 727.

If you're accepting DFT or VLT during these times of reduced BLG you should be kicked in the jimmy.......
