I don't have a problem with the underlying practice, I would just like to see the experience improved... particularly when deadheads are involved. United's deadhead and crew meal language, applied to out of base reserve assignments, would go a long way toward making transcon DH less painful. We should be autobooked into a (good) seat the moment we are assigned or acknowledge, and be allowed to board with the crew.

I have bid reserve on purpose most of my Delta career. I know where improvements can be made.
If you keep everything in base, the company will need more pilots, more GS will go out and reserve guys/gals will not fly as much and not DH around the system.
Reserve should also get 1 hour of pay over the guarantee for every SC assigned.
You should also be allowed to move a golden day around in the month and keep that golden day.
Long call should go to 14 or 15 hours instead of 12 hours.
Sick if needed, like AA has.

I and our customers are very happy with our schedule integrity. We blow the competition out of the water, and reserves are part of the reason why. Numerous reserve improvements can be made without chipping away at this strength of ours. An hour of pay above guarantee for every SC assignment (used or not) is something I can get behind.

Golden days are assigned honoring seniority in a manner so as to avoid them all stacking up on the same day(s). Don't get me wrong, I'll take a pony if we can get one...I just don't see this changing.

Stop with this dumb ****.
I’m not opposed to seeking reserve improvement. I think it’s absurd to chase getting premium pay for an ATL-JAX leg going to an ATL reserve just because the lineholder who called in sick was from MSP.
Why would you not want this for the pilot group?

I enjoy reading a lot of your posts even if I don’t agree with some of them but I don’t get where you’re coming from on this one. Why shouldn’t we try to help everyone out on this? If it gets an in base guy a green slip and lets a reserve guy who didn’t want to fly stay home with the family (or boat) and the company still maintains the integrity of the operation then what’s the harm to the pilots especially?
