I'll drink coffee and bs with my friends another time. If I'm at work, I'd prefer to be getting paid. ESPECIALLY if that is what our contract says. The "issues" they discuss are a whole lotta not our problem.

There are a million other ways to make things "run a lot better" without shorting our checks. Go take it up with DGS, the ramp tower, Skywest blocking the alley. Go short their checks!

I can't believe some of you buy into this crap. "Fake it 'till you make it!"

Jesus.

No no no. You missed paragraph one, just read. Go get paid. They are internal delays. Youre still getting paid, you still drop the brake, but after a couple minutes its gonna ask you why arent you pushing, and give it to ramp or whatever is problem. You're gonna do what you always do, just be ready to push and if it doesn't happen blame the ramp.

There are LITERALLY 61 reserve lines in NYC 200 CA and only 31 lines of flying, yet EVERY SINGLE DAY is red??? GMAfreakingB.

This is an honest to goodness way to destroy morale. Well done!
New York guys have morale?

How convenient.
I see no green...all red still on the 900 CA side...

~275 lines that have flying on MAXIMUM 65% of the days of the month...so on any given day there are close to 179 pilots with flying...obviously some days are more than others but this is an average.

The average minimum reserve requirement is 62 for FEB...that means we have an approximate minimum requirement of 1 reserve pilot for approximately every 2.9 pilots flying a line per day...

I’d love an email explanation; from either the company or the union.

Because the company can, and the union can't do anything about it. The company has X pilots it has to build a schedule for. It will build 75 hour lines til it runs out of flying. Everyone else will get a min day off reserve line because there is nothing stopping the company from doing that. Then they set the reserve grid red because they can and they get maximum coverage 'just in case' and there's nothing the union can contractually do.

Sure the company COULD build 65 hour credit lines to increase the number of line holders and make a more reasonable reserve ratio. Sure the company COULD build reserve lines with more than the minimum days off.... they won't and they won't and currently there's nothing the union can do to change that. Maybe we could get staffing control for a 50% paycut and no open time pick ups. Or maybe that won't even be enough.
