Someone please explain this..... rj drivers are more important that equal pay for DAL pilots?!!
You new to reserve? Let me guess the trip had a block of 9:06?? A REG pilot would get 5:15 for each day and you get Block. Its because you already have a guarantee for the month. Its all explained in the contract.

They won't fire the one person they NEED to however.

Getting RES and REG trip pay equality has been on the list for as long as almost anyone can remember. ALPA got us one step closer to that by adding the ADG rig. ADG rig applies to lineholders and reserve, so it bumps up the RES closer to a lineholder values (on a "credit trip", hard time trips aren't affected). So tell your reps you want improvements to ADG, that will fix the issue at last.

That was one of the most pathetic losses I've ever seen. They were running through Green Bay's defense like it was toilet paper and they decided to pass in the 4th quarter.

Someone needs to go.

Ok. I THINK I broke the code on this one.

The yellow days are days where they have plenty of coverage.

The purple days are days where everyone junior to them, if they got reserve, had to be on reserve that day. Notice how every reserve day underneath the first purple day is purple, as well? Ie, they are probably capped reserve days.


That's my guess. Did I break the code?

Purple is an unstacked reserve day. Blue is an unstacked trip.

I don't know...

I think one of my trips (a real POS!) should be colored BROWN!
