Valid points
 
Valid about being on reserve flydiamond however, one could argue that the grid should always be green unless an irop occurs. The grid is to be able to not just drop and pick up but, to also drop and or swap days of rsv. Again, the grid stayed red for most of towop when we were overstaffed. Yes, the point about bringing other reserves in is valid. Tick the box on “reserve at other bases”, I think is what is says in PBS. They’ll have to pos space you and get you a hotel.

I think they are abusing their control and are using the grid against us. They’ll want something in return for any release of control of that grid but again, it goes against foundations of flight and core principles. I wonder if a call to the ethics hotline, on the website, would help?

Am I the only one who actually enjoys getting paid to sit at home in base on reserve?

Id rather be in a mediocre hotel, that’s at least clean, quiet and decent van service with stuff around it than a brand new holiday inn express that’s right next to train tracks and has nothing around it. When you get in to a hotel at 1130am-1pm. It’s nice to be able to get out and stretch your legs and find something to do than be stuck in your room all day because you’re in a warehouse park

I wish the company would just publish the IROP schedule with the bid pack, so I could bid around them.

Seriously, you do know that if it worked that way, folks would drop until the grid was red again, right?

Considering most of ours are still south of 30K cycles, and they’re good to at least 40K cycles, a while. Plus then there’s 100 left in IGM we can drag out.

I think there’s a lot less now. They broke many apart but those could have been Comair birds too. Maybe I should go pay a visit.

Based on the OpSpec, there's still 87 in the long term storage MX program. Maybe not 100, but close.
