Ya, but motor coach drivers have to wear the hat, for us it's optional, so you win some and you lose some.

I like EV's two tier system:
One option commutes get a forgive once a year.
Two options are unlimited - but probably still open to review if it's excessive.

Positive space? It should happen but it probably won't ever happen.

This is a pretty dense comment, it is dense because you really think that a flow is within reach but you don't think a better commuter policy is - good luck. Rental cars and company credit cards for dinner will happen before a flow. The company already positive spaces to/from work everyday, so your comment (which sarcastically implied that a better commuter policy was less likely to happen than rental cars on overnights or free meals on overnights or 20 days off for reserves) makes no sense.

I don't remember claiming to believe a flow was within reach sir?

When I did corporate I always had a company CC and rental car every night. Wasn't there an airline that did rental cars with nights greater than 24 hours?

RAH advertises a rental car for overnights scheduled longer than 26 hour.

To each his own but I think there are more important items than a rental car to work on improving. It is your survey do with it what you will. Just sounds silly to me.

Default Delta reserve policy

People keep mentioning Delta reserve policy but for a new 121 guy I have no idea what it is. Will someone please share what they know to be true about reserve at Delta. Upgrading is a tough consideration for me because reserve life here is the worst in the industry. We should be able to get more days off and improve QOL on reserve.

I completely agree, was just saying that it isn't completely far fetched. I think reserve rules would be number one. We could once again lead the regionals industry but setting mainline style reserve rules. Before you know it, it will be the standard and the days of 11 days off with infinite ready reserve sits will be over!


Where exactly is this survey located?

Reserve rules don't get people in the door, guys.

Money, QOL, and Career Progression do.

Aside from commuter hotels, I can't imagine reserve rules will improve much considering the great gains we made just 8 months ago.

Positive space? What are you guys on? That is unprecedented in the passenger airline industry. You will not see it. Too expensive.

Everyone wants these massive gains with unprecedented improvements but no one aside from the MEC and those in ATL actually know their cost. YES there is a monetary number associated with another day off. And it is MILLIONS of dollars. Even for a pilot group this small.
