Sorry, I guess I interpreted your message incorrectly.

You don't have to work every day in the above situations. Remember the contract allows you to refuse any trip that would put you even 1 minute over the ALV as a reserve.

Its really hard to look ahead and no how much flying a category will have. Things can change quite rapidly depending on manning, what season and aircraft mod lines in operation. The 767-4 guys on reserve will get the winter off as a large portion of the fleet goes into Mod for lie flats. They will however get worked to death next summer. The MD manning in the FO seat will change fast with hiring. That change could go either way. Flying a lot when new is not a bad thing however. It gets you off probation quicker.

Agreed. It is normally feast of famine on reserve. Even some of the WB 767 ER categories are having their reserves used a lot this winter.

DAL88;
DAL has just put a clarification of corporate policy out for early pushes. It should have a reference on the DBMS pop-up window.

This could get worse before it gets better.

M88 ATL, would have flown just once last month, but they took a 3-day trip and broke it into two 2-days (DH from DTW for me, and DH to DTW for the next RES guy on day 2). Appeared that they did this at the last minute. It was if they didn't like my RAW score being so low so they were bound and determined to fly me during my two days of availability. That, or they ran out of 3-day SC pilots. I'm sure a line holder would have loved a 2 day WS, though.

And that # is posted as Max reserve on my schedule, right? If I hit that credit before all my reserve days are up, then I'm off the rest of the month?

Yes.....true. Not sure about an inverse assignment, though. I think you'd still have the right to refuse it. But as far as pulling normal reserve, you're done.
