The glitch has been fixed on ATL MD88 reserve. No longer does a 0 rasa ore last you to mid month. The days of 4 days used is now 4 reserve days not used.



Rasa ore = raw score on iPhone auto erect.


Autocorrect = auto erect on iPhone autocorrect too.

What? I got paid 70:42 for reserve and CQ. Not always just 70...

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!!!

Perhaps the company should think about tempering their expectations from the pilot group... No buck.... No Buck Rogers.
^^^ All time, best post ever.

Back on APC for a short stint, didn't take long for everyone to get as excited about reserve as I've been. Welcome to "Club Leash.". Anyone else counting their long calls from home on three or less fingers?

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).

It`s called a contract.

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+.

Because if you are picking up open time on your day off, then you may have a conflict with your next reserve block, (think 30 in 7.)

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

Because it's always been done that way.

Because that would take control of your life away from crew skeds and perhaps allow you to fly up to the ALV at some point in the month. Ya see, if you could do that, they wouldn't be able to fly you to ALV -2 and keep you on SC the entire month..

Yellow slip is the key. You can enter a yellow slip to fly on your x days. I'm part of the new hire group from last year and I yellow slip all month. I'm 88B at ATL and flew May -87 hours June-82 hours Jul 76 hours(even had a week off after kid #1 in Jul).
