Are you new? You cannot do much with your schedule on reserve. You will get paid 70 hours every month.

From the WSJ

"Terry Erskine, a consultant and retired labor negotiator for Delta Air Lines Inc., acknowledges that pilots are frustrated. But he thinks they haven't tempered their expectations sufficiently. "It hasn't sunk in yet that it's a forever-changed industry," he says."

I guess Southwest hasn't gotten the message yet! Thanks Terry for the wake up call! I'll just tell my family to "temper their expectations sufficiently". I wonder how he's enjoying all the cash he bailed with from
Delta? Hey Terry.... F#%! YOU!!!:mad:

Perhaps the company should think about tempering their expectations from the pilot group... No buck.... No Buck Rogers.

So, I haven't gotten around to reading that 1100 pg PDF FTB recommended on DALPA site, but why is it that RES pilots can not pick up any time on days off to help out other brothers/sister's in a time of need? I know I'm new and a little naive (not in judgement).

What I want to know is why reserves don't get paid the credit time in a rotation?

Unless you're ACL65 "I credit 90-110 hours a month every month" pilot.

You're ATL 88 which has been slow... so yes, you will get paid 70 hours every month for the most part. That is not universally true though.

The past couple months I've been at 70 because I really enjoy my weekends off and usually have stuff planned, but prior to that with very little extra effort I was cranking out 90+.
