How about we increase pay rates so someone can live on 65 hours on reserve.

But it abrogates senority. A senior pilot should be able to pick his trips without regard to the junior pilot's schedule. The regionals do this and it makes for a very poor PBS system. I'm very junior in my category (87% or so) and would NOT want this kind of PBS logic.

No thanks. The true benefficiary in such an arrangement is the company, which makes the people on the other end of the transaction (pilots) the true losers.

I'm on reserve and have not flown once this month....I'd say QOL is pretty good. Increase reserve to pay industry standard and QOL will go up. With better reserve pay more senior in base pilots would bid it and then the junior guys would have their shot at a line.

My 2¢.

I know that Delta Air Lines is a multibillion dollar international corporation that doesn't particularly love me.

Nevertheless, I had a health scare a while back, and absolutely everybody I dealt with at the airline couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. Everything's all taken care of and I'm good to go, and I'm happy to be going back to work for a multibillion dollar international corporation that was there for me when I needed it.
