That's what RF 100 TRAN is for.
You CAN lose it, but you don't have to.

Wait... earlier you said that I can't lose OT. Now I have to read slowly for some reason? Oh yeah, because you were wrong. I know exactly what it means because I live it. You haven't had to endure the Envoy reserve system, you have no idea what happens. It only applies to a third of the pilots on the line, but you're not one of them.

How does this situation occur? Hmmm... Well, let's say that I pick up OT on the 10th... a nice 4.5 hours of credit for a 3 hour turn. This months schedule ends 5 on, 2 off, 3 on. On the 20th, the next month schedule gets awarded. It starts 4 on 2 off 5 on....

So, if I combine those together I get 5 on, 2 off, 7 on, 2 off, 5 on. Oops, there's a 7 day... need to split that up. Can I request a specific day off? Nope. Can I swap days to resolve this issue? Nope, denied due to staffing.

I can opt to let scheduling adjust my schedule at their discretion (yikes), but sliding a day changes it to 5 on, 1 off, 3 on, 1 off, 4 on, 2 off, 5 on. Ouch. Or 5 on, 2 off, 3 on, 1 off, 4 on, 1 off, 5 on. Not better.

Or, I can let them drop a day, giving me 5 on, 2 off, 2 on, 1 off, 4 on, 2 off 5 on. This costs me 3.9 hours of my 4.5 hours of overtime... meaning I worked on a day off for .6 hours of pay. Cha-ching.

BECAUSE IT IS NOT PAY PROTECTED!!!!!

How often is there a 7 day conflict between reserve lines?... just about every single month.

Is this industry leading pay protection? Absolutely not.

30 in 7 =/= 7 day conflict.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

So you just said you are pay protected, but might not like the schedule?

Yes you lose the pay... You can keep the flying if you want it but don't get paid for it besides guarantee, or you can keep the reserve day and drop the flying, also unpaid.

No. Being "given the opportunity" to work a different day and crappier schedule is not a pay protection. Pay protection is, you lost pay, through no fault of your own, but you get paid anyway.

It is frightening how much you don't know and what you think is acceptable in this industry.

Like where
 

the only 145 operators with 50/hour are PDT and ENV, who else?
another thing is their base close to CMH is ORD, PDT have PHL which is close to CMH but don't know if there are daily flights to commute.

Ok the only 145 operators with 50/hour are PDT and ENV, who else?
To compare Envoy vs Peidmont is their base close to CMH is ORD, PDT have PHL which is close to CMH but don't know if there are daily flights to CMH to commute.
The reserve in ORD should be around 3 months but don't know Peidmont Philli reserve time to compare.

If you're comparing Envoy vs Piedmont, Envoy is just a much bigger company which in turn equates to more resources, generally more growth, more opportunity, more flow, I will say there was a small group of PDT pilots who got in at the right time and spent under 5 years at PDT before they flowed, but as for a NH I think Envoy would make more sense. I know of a handful of CMH commuters and CMH to ORD is done on Envoy metal so you'd have priority on the JS for that.

Thank you
 

so if CMH was home wouldn't ENV be better commuting from ORD vs PDT commuting from PHL as for pay both are the same but reserve time is what differs
