I know several that have been escalated only to sit in NYC for a couple days making escalation pay. Poor use of money and resources.

I'm sure they are just bad at using reserves. And they're supposedly using LCR's as much as possible before hitting the scr. But who knows why they do what they do.

My former company used us over 40 block on reserve and occasionally up to 90 credit. Reserves flew as much or more than line.
For whatever reason, reserve does not fly here much at all. Lately I've seen many FOs out of OE with no block for 3 weeks. It is not uncommon at the moment to go more than 2 weeks without a single flight. Even then it is out and back to Buffalo or overnight in Toronto. You get the last two legs of a trip that lineholders call in sick for... In the past year I have been assigned exactly one 4 day trip on reserve, no three days, a few two days. All my RAPs are normally 4 days.

We are overstaffed, but a large number of reserves are dropping their entire month, and picking up flying off the tradeboard, or opentime. That's what is causing the lack of coverage on certain days. They drop because they have to sit 10 ready reserves a month otherwise, hell I would too, if I were in that position.
