If you reach guarantee on reserve, you can yellow slip to earn more? I thought you couldn't do that. I was under the impression that the only way to make more $ on reserve was to GS. Bueller?

You are full when you hit the guarantee, meaning they can't assign you anything else. But, you can still yellow slip up to the pick up limit (ALV+15).

And you can still green slip to fly over your X days. Don't be crying about your lack of progression or lack of quality of life if you are flying over the reserve guarantee though, you did that to yourself.

Let me get this straight......is ok for a line holder to fly up to the pickup limit but it's not ok for a reserve? Got it.

Line holders do it too. Swap with the pot has no cap. Staffing depends on hours not who flies the hours.

I am pretty sure that Timbo is talking about anyone flying additional hours.

On that regard I agree. But I don't blame individual pilots. Every pilot has a right to utilize the contract in the way they see fit.

I blame every one who votes for these crappy contracts.

What crappy contract? Most would say that the pilot group is pretty happy with the current contract.

And while I fly less than most (60 hours in May) I'm not sure what the ideal is. I mean if we all were only allowed to fly 60 hours that would create a lot of jobs. However I'm guessing that such a limitation would be received very poorly.

So somewhere between 60 hours and FAR limits is the ideal monthly max. What is it? Who determines it? The only thing that I can state is that it is somewhere between 60 hours and FAR limits!

I subscribe to your min work theory! I would also like to thank those of you who carry this company with your 120+ credit months. Without you I would not be able to thrive in my slackers paradise. I have a tee time in 35 minutes.

Beauty of this job is there is something for everyone. Some pilots won't ever fly a narrowbody for Delta again by choice once they hit the widebodies. Some pilots see their Nirvana playing the drop entire sked GS/WS 120 credit for 40 block game on the 88/90 for the rest of their career.
