I came here from a *lifetime* in 135; this beats the hell out of every single operator I've worked at/heard of in ALMOST every single way (exceptions: starting pay, no hotel points).

Eighty hours per month with days off the DO can't arbitrarily take away is *******ed magnificent.

Thanks for reassuring me

I was just denied 2 days off that I asked for 45 days in advance because they were "to close to black out days for thanksgiving"
anyway looking forward to the new job

Black out days? Sounds like my wife in college.

Default Reserve rules

Are new reserve rules coming out anytime soon? Commuting a day prior to your schedule reserve days is killer. It really makes you have 8-9 days off a month.

This business is all luck and timing.

I drove to work as an FO and now got the upgrade on the envoy wide body and still get to drive to work.

A bit of a tale of two cities.....

The company is open to working on reserve, but when/if that happens is anyone’s guess. Rumors have been we will see something this fall but this isn’t the first reserve rule rodeo.

Heard this before which is why I’m asking. With the holidays coming up we won’t see anything till next year and that’s if something is in the works. The union will probably take off the entire November and December. It’s frustrating. This place wouldn’t be so bad if reserve rules be would competitive. (Min days off 12-13, Long call. Etc). Also, people wouldn’t complain about upgrading/coming here if the reserve rules were great.

I just want to see long call and either eliminate or change next day assignments to be posted sooner.
