On reserve, the mock teneded to be very accurate for me. This month finally holding a line... not so much

I was hoping to perhaps trade with open time, but the only thing left in open time was CDO's so that's out.
The problem with trading for opentime is not the availability, it's the fact that every day is red because of low reserves.

This right here....

There is no reason for every single day to be red, on the day the schedules come out. Except that the company can do it.

Likewise, I was trying to utilize Max Line Range as well, didn't get it. Was able to play with it a bit in open time to get a little more credit, but not like I've done in March/April (where I credited over 140 each month).

I didn't even bid for specific days off, just for days off in general and for credit.

What means this, that the days are red due to low reserves?

When we check for reserve availability it gives

green - more than enough reserves
black - just enough
red - low reserves

We can't trade unless its green because they don't have the reserves to cover your dropped trip.


And it is almost always red, all month long.

A couple of questions about reserve. Somebody had mentioned before different levels of reserve I believe. Like P1, P2, and P3. What exactly are these?

Second question, are reserve days normally scheduled in a row and are people getting more the min days off on reserve.

I do not know a lot about how the scheduling system works obviously.

P1 etc are the reserve periods.
P1: 0500-1900
P2: 1000-2359
P3: Not sure exactly, I think 1900-2359

Reserve days can vary, some folks like to split them up and have. 3 on/1 off schedule of sorts. You can also allow them to schedule six on in a row to try and get more days off in a row. 11 days off is what you can expect.

The reserve thresholds are redonkulous. My theory is..high reserves will cover other airline flying plus ours. Absolutely zero reason to have that many reserves. Some days the minim thresholds are 10-14 for one base!!!!! what?

ALPA needs to question these reserve thresholds. I'm calling BS

Pretty sure scheduling justifies those numbers with our performance. Don't think they'll change anytime soon.

Besides, I like sitting ready reserve..............
