In the PWA it's not jury duty, it's "legal duty". You are covered if subpoenaed. Ref 2.157 and 13.E[/QUOTE]
You are awesome, Han Solo.

Ok, I know I should be able to find this in the contract, but answers seem to come quicker here. Am I allowed to book positive space company business to commute to an in-base TOE trip?

We negotiated Short Call Credit (SCC) in C2016 which was 'an improvement'. But I think we can all agree that it doesn't really affect how often we are assigned SC. I also realize that the company won't budge if it'll cost them money or restrict their ability to assign SC.
How about SCC #1 = 1 hr. credit toward reserve guarantee
SCC #2 = 2 hrs credit, SCC #3 = 3 hrs credit, SCC #4 = 4 hrs.
SCC # 5, 6, and 7 (for those categories that have it) = 5:15 hrs.
I understand the need for SC, however if assigned SC and not used 5+ times in a month, I think they're using it a little excessively.
Other's thoughts?

I see a strong push-back even going with a higher SCC as that puts the reserve pilot closer to filling up, and that limits the reserve pilots availability.
Pilot side- more credit for SC and a deterrent against over-assigning SC.
Company side- restricts the usability of the reserve pilot.

I'd love the option to bid for either a longcall or shortcall only month. Perhaps a higher credit to the shortcall (guys that live in base) and a lower credit to those that would prefer the long call (more commutable gig). This might be a wash to the company but give us more control.

They can make any argument they'd like. Anecdotally, the data would seem to show that it didn't use to be so much a part of the job. More and more pilots are (I believe) hitting 7 SCs a month.
Fact is, retirements increase significantly over the next two contracts and we have the leverage (should we choose to use it smartly).
