Can someone please help me out! This is my first month bidding a line; and every trip I try to trade during seniority open time that starts on a day other than my original award has been denied due to "reserve staffing." The message I get is basically, "0 reserves assigned and 18 needed." Since I have been on reserve for over 2 years, I know that reserves aren't assigned in SchedPlus until at least the 26th. What are my options!?!? Should I call the open time desk, or should I just wait until the reserves are assigned. (At which point all the good trips will be gone!) Please help!!!

Yeah, you'll have to wait.

Unfortunately, you will miss the good trips. You won't be able to trade until the reserve lines are published.

To answer your question in a little more detail, the reserve schedules have not been posted so there is no reserve for next month. Because of this, each day is understaffed according to SkedPlus. You can only trade your days for the same days, i.e. 4 day for the same 4 days, etc. Reserve schedules are posted on the 26th I believe. Once that is done, you're free to trade as you please. HOWEVER, if you select the reserve tab on SkedPlus and move your mouse over the day of the month, it'll let you know how many reserves are needed and how many they have. If the reserves is under the minimums you wont be able to trade out of your trip that touches the under minimum day.

Hope that helps.

Similar deal for those of us transitioning to the 700/900. We can't even see March open time until we start our last 200 trip due to sked plus limitation

Sorry that my crap schedule hasn't been posted yet! Lol, that does suck they obviously know what the staffing will be because it will be forced that I get what they need me to get. So you shouldn't have to wait til the 26th to know your next months final changed schedule

Whats the feeling over on the CRJ side with the "lifers" who have been there for 10-15 years that said they were never leaving? Have a lot of them started to change their tune? Just curious, seems like a few of the perceived "lifers" on the ERJ side are starting to get motivated to leave.....

A few have changed their minds, but most are still staying.
