Here is a fact. Well, I just added them up now, so these numbers could be off by a couple...

210 lines had 12 or less days off of the 487 total lines between all 3 fleets. That is over 43% of the lines in November have 11 or 12 days off. That is awful and by far the worst I have ever seen here.

Do you guys not know how to work transition. Push that last trip out then bid for a line the works the first four and is off trans. Rinse repeat, three more days off.

Yeah after Trip Trade I was left with the whole first week off and 3 days in between all my trips. But I mean, schedules are just *terrible*

I thought eagle, I mean Envoy was known to have good reserve rules since you're on reserve for years there? Is it better on different fleets or is it all like that?

And they are largely uncommutable. And they are all different days of the week, making it impossible to plan around a family. And there are no day trip lines, 2 day back to backs, or 3 on 4 off lines. And the majority used to be 15-16 off, on regular days, worth more time. And transition tricks worked with those schedules too, giving you even more time off. What's your point?

You've been given incorrect information.

If all you look at are days off then I feel sorry for you. In years past our lines were 80-90% 14 days off or more. Dailies, two days and three day trips made up approximately 50% of our lines. The other 50% were commutable 4 days. Today is unrecognizable to what we have had historically.
