I was going to look up the word "prospective" but now I don't have to. DeadHead defines it in a way I can easily visualize.

I don't think its a coincidence that Dickson dropped this deuce on DALPA's desk right when we have no MEC Chairman.
Whoever takes over on Tuesday is going to have to make a tough call in his first hour on the job.
I hope he gets it right. The whole pilot group is watching.

The DeadSkins must be the worst team in the NFL.

FAR117. If you are a regular line holder this month, and a reserve holder next month, when is the earliest that you are responsible to answer the phone or acknowledge anything? IOW, where does it say that I have to answer the phone at 23:59 to acknowledge a trip on Dec 31st? Which to me means that they cannot assign a trip (that signs in) to a regular to reserve converted line holder before 10:01am. (12:01 actually since I technically have 2 hours to respond) And... Who will be on short call at 00:01?

Does this mean as a commuter that you're pretty much on SC for the 1st and realistically need to be in base? i.e. could they put a 7am show on your schedule that you couldn't commute in for after 1500?

Otherwise, he'd be a King, and we can't have that now, can we?

Re:
and:
How does management use their leverage without violating the status quo? The company has the option to do some of those things, but they haven't. We have the option of not flying overtime, and we certainly have the obligation of not flying sick. But when current numbers diverge from past practices, injunctions are sought, and obtained.
...however the company has the ability to push back and push back hard. At a minimum I expect with no agreement every reserve will sit the max number of short calls needed or not. No reserves will ever be released early. Reserves will not be allowed to deviate. Out of position reserves will be dealt with harshly. Rotation construction will be changed to facilitate reserve assignments increasing line holder work days...
