Just got this e-mail from a punctuationally-challenged crew scheduler:
"Coverage is very bad for CRJ CA's in ALL domiciles if you are off today and would like to do some additional flying please contact crew scheduling even if you are a reserve pilot we are also allowing you to pick up as well. "
...but we're not short staffed. We just had more than the expected number sick calls, right?

Here's an MOU idea, train the top 1/3 of FOs as Lance Captains and use them when you need them.
How can the Company be short of Captains when you have hundreds of FOs ready to build some PIC experience.

Trying to gain some 121 etiquette... Is it poor form to pick up a trip when on reserve? On a day off?

Under the L-ASA (CRJ) contract, reserves can't pick up flying on a day off because you're already down to minimum days off. You can however have a soft-day (non-golden day) taken away and replaced later in the month. I didn't receive the email, but maybe they meant reserves could volunteer to have their day off taken away and replaced? Not sure what kind of incentive they could offer though, other than normal credit. IMO, the only time it's poor form to volunteer for flying is when people are furloughed or threatened with furlough.
