Kind of a wash... under our reserve rules he gets placed back into RAP and can be called back in 4 hours later. At least with the OSO, he will be released in 4 hours. Also, only applies during OSO, which makes the situation pretty convoluted and rare. Compared to the multitude of other things that occur to make reserve life miserable, this one is not so bad. Is that all you got?
Oh wait, you never really dealt with sitting on reserve... so you really don't know what you are talking about. Bye!

You are probably on the contract compliance committee... that would explain a lot. God help this pilot group if that is the case.

Tyrion, I decided to not engage in further discussion when I did because I've been down this road before with union contract compliance (previous one's that have now flowed). You are right, the contract says what it says. But the union will tell you it doesn't matter "that's just the way it is". And yes, it's very frustrating when you get told that while reading was is very black and white in the CBA and you realize the union does not, in fact, have your back.

And define what you mean by "irregularity".

When they block booked hotel rooms in domiciles, they were much more willing to give them out to pilots. Now that they book them one by one, they won't even give a room for out of base OT pickups.

dera, I don’t think that’s a true statement. I flew OT out of base and they gave me a hotel. I have another OT trip next week, hopefully they don’t come with bs

If you commute to your base, you can use your commuter hotels if you pick up OT from other bases too. If you are not a commuter, they have been denying those hotels lately. The LOA unfortunately defines a commuter as someone who lives more than 50 miles from their domicile, and there's nothing (unless its CC) that allows you to use commuter hotels if you are not a commuter.
So, just to clarify - you can still use commuter hotels, if you are a commuter, for out of base pickups. But if you are not a commuter, you can't.
