As a guy on reserve I am amazed at what my July will look like now. Resv guarantee is already changed from 70 to 80 since ALV is 82 for July in my catagory. I worked pretty hard in Jun and logged only 56 hrs, I'll be amazed if they can wring 80 hrs out of me. That coupled with a 4% raise is pretty big.
I would like to see a comparison of July-July 2012-2013 monthly ALV vs July-July 2011-2012 next Year to see if we really did work harder and if the ALV goes down to not pay resvs as much or if resv is worked hard and the ALV stays high so as to not needing as many pilots.
Also where can I find which bases and jets have reserves over 20% and get the extra day off if ALV drops below 75:00?

I used to find some value in your posts, but now I pretty much just scan past them. You're quick to accuse others of throwing grenades and running away, yet you fail to realize that you are guilty of the same thing.
Believe it or not, the debate was actually more civil in your absence.

Besides, they can put the interiors in the 717s.

30/7 question
I have a RES line in June and blocked 9:52 for the 29-30th. Now I have a REG line on July 1 with a trip that blocks 19:38 which obviously puts me over 30 in 7 days.
I called Skeds to alert them of the conflict and they said I was legal to start the rotation. The Capt I was with said they should adjust your rotation prior to starting it to get rid of the conflict.
So which is it?
Thanks for any insight.

You're legal to start at 29:40, however if you over block on day 1 by 21 minutes, they'll have to make an adjustment before you duty on day 2 - because then you will be illegal. They will contest this, but remind them that you can't accept an illegal assignment, nor may they legally assign you one.
