Give their decision on the simulator techs and their reasoning, I would not be surprised at all to see this happen.

Another Reserve Question
 

I am sure this has probably been answered already....2 of us on RSV; both have 2 days available. The one with the higher RAW goes on a 2 day while the lower RAW sits Long Call.

Is this right? Why?

Thanks

Depends, if the scores are close, the other guy could have put in a YS dropping his raw 15 points but missed the computer scan that makes the list - happens a lot in the morning.

Another way might be one of the folks had a short call leading in making them ineligible or something else we can't see. Drop me a PM with some specifics if you want or place 'em here and I'll answer as best I can (sitting SC).

As a fellow reservist, I feel your pain. The answer is you don't have all the information (not your personally, but everyone on reserve). The other guy might still be flying a trip. If the trip gets done before midnight today, he'll show up on the 2 day list, even if there is no way he/she could fly any trip that day. He could also be in rest from a trip that ended earlier today, so he can't fly one of the trips.

Or, like the other poster said, he could of put in a YS. The simple answer is there isn't enough information provided on the RAL (Reserve Availability List) to determine why someone got a trip or didn't get a trip. I've called the scheduler sometimes when I don't understand why I got a trip. Usually there is a explanation.

No...use or lose. 6 fresh ones every pay anniversary.

Thanks guys. :)

Is it true they are good for Mainline flights only?

They are good on flights that we board in DOH priority.

I'm thinking about bidding reserve in December. Not having bid reserve in a while when I want more than one group of days off, I need some advice. If you want say 3 seperate groups of off days, do you bid them all on one line or list each group seperately? Do I start the bid with the days I really want and then add on to them in each subsequent bid line or bid all the days I want off and then cut them down in subsequent bid lines? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Thanks..is there a worse reserve system in the industry? SWA makes 40% more than us AND they have a better reserve system that pays 78 hours...unbelievable how far behind we are!

Use separate lines, like this. Assuming you want Dec 24,25,26, then Dec 4,5,6 off first, then dec, 10,11,12

Prefer, off 2,25,26
Prefer off 4,5,6
Prefer off 10,11,12

That's how I'd do it.
