I will not admit to knowing anything about anyone that is on "The View."

Question for you reserve rules experts: Just flew a 4-day trip that returned this AM at 1020. When trip was assigned, scheduler included a 24 hr rest upon return which shows up in DBMS going thru 1100 tomorrow. I checked my schedule on return from the trip to satisfy the requirement and nothing was there. At 1315 scheduler calls to tell me I am on SC tomorrow at 1130. I didn't answer and acknowledge the assignment. Aren't you free of all responsibility for responding during the 24 hr designated break? Can they require me to be on SC once the 24 hr is over with less than a 10 hr notice? I commute to reserve - last day in this base tomorrow and will be based at home on Monday. If they had posted it before I returned from the trip, yes I would be responsible, right?

You're on rest, & under ZERO obligation to answer your phone or check your schedule. They missed their opportunity to assign it to you. It would have needed to be on your schedule PRIOR to your pre-release schedule check. Once your rest is over, you'll start LC.

I'm on reserve and hardly get called. Each day is like groundhogs day. Each day I know that at some point while flipping channels I'll cross over The View, Hasselbeck will say something self righteous and frustrating and I will throw the controller at the TV. Like clockwork.

Well there's your problem. You just need to hit the mute button! :D

I don't recall any FO quotas

The Roberts Award had FO quotas. Unless you were a widebody FO they didn't matter much after about 1998. Prior to 1998 the quota generated a (quickly squashed) grievance by post merger pilots because their recall rights were being usurped by Roberts rights (mainly on 757 and above).

The last time the Roberts FO quota was applied was for the Feb 2004 HNL DC-10 FO slots. An APA was issued with and later modified to unaward blue book pilots and replace them with green book pilots entitled under the DC10 FO quotas as provided under the "Insufficient Bidder" supplemental.

Any info's about how long would it take to hold the 737,757 for new guys? and what are the bases?
Thank you all,

Thank you all,

Newhires have been already been awarded NYC 737 & DTW 757 on their first eligible AE. Most had not even started sim training for their aircraft awarded in class.

737 Bases are LAX, SLC, CVG, ATL, & NYC.

757 Bases are LAX, SEA, SLC, ATL, MSP, DTW, & NYC.

I think it is because passengers have shiny jet syndrome. They view propellers as old technology and therefore.. not safe. That's the only thing I can figure.... I like your thought though :)

We need an education campaign. The tag line:
