The Delta reserve rules are AWFUL!!!! I have now worked 4 days in a row for 12:58 credit and only 3 flying duty periods. Under the former NWA contract, this would have credited me 20 hours. About the only thing better in the Delta contract is the hourly rates and not even by that much. I guess NWA credited me more for my time because the higher guarantee was harder to break. Rant over.

Typical Delta south response. You don't even realize that most regionals have better reserve rules than the largest airline in the world. Our PWA should have taken the best of both worlds. You have no idea how many things were actually better at NWA. Your 5:15 min day for lineholders seemed better until we realized deadhead days don't count. Now we have a ton of rotations with a single deadhead back to base on the last day. It seems like with everything that seemed better in your contract, there is a catch that we find out about later. I am going to run for office when it gets closer to contract time. We need huge positive sum gains next contract.

What Check Essential said. Reserve is only bearable if you live in base.

Someone said 11am. Even though I'm very interested in the AE, I ain't getting up early even if it was coming out at 8am. It would still be there after breakfast.
Oh, and for anyone thinking of bidding DTW, it's 10 degrees F and windy. Windchill is -6. And it's not even winter yet.

Uh oh. A North v. South tiff brewing right before an AE can never be good.
One positive: His complaint and hopefully upcoming answer will help me figure my PBS bid. Probably my AE/MD bid, too.

Its bearable if you live in base, but you definitely don't want to commute to reserve under the Delta system because of the shortcall situation.
And the lack of trip guarantees for reserves really stinks. Some trips pay a whole lot less for a reserve than a regular guy.
