Yeah, that would've been a great trip to pick up out of open time for a commuter but it was specifically coded to only go to an ATL RES. I have no idea if the guy who got the trip is a commuter and thus got a good deal, but I know as an in-base guy on NB reserve I'd have been pretty disappointed if I received a 6 day trip. Especially knowing the reason I got the trip is the company can't figure out how to properly staff the airline, and I'm just a cost saving technique.

Regardless, even if PBS partially ignores the set condition and gives you one block of 4-days (if it’s an extra X day month) or two blocks of 4-days (in a normal X day month), you’ve still mitigated any of the long trips.

To be fair, CQ helps facilitate it just like vacation. An extra X day due to staffing helps too.

I'd really like to see us eliminate covering trips with out of base reserves. If we do use OOB RES, then let's at least get them premium pay for the convenience to the company.

Agreed. Personal choice/strategy whether you go for 2 4-day availability periods or a single 8 day. My point at the beginning is most NB pilots aren't expecting a 6 day trip to even be a possibility, so the 8 days of availability wasn't that big a deal.

So you advocate letting scheduling decide which base gets GS's? Scheduling supervisor: "The sick leave rate is to high and short call response times to long. Move all potential DTW GS's to ATL."

Not now part of the PWA, I know. But it could be. Low priority, rare event but still a thorn.

No, I'm saying get rid of "reserve only" coverage awards that go out of base. If the trip has to be covered out of base for a reserve to do it continue down the ladder in order.
