And for Long Call.. Scheduling can change you into short call twice, but up to 7 days. So pretty much half of the month you will be on short call. Cool huh?

Same as it is for now ASA side 7 conversions per month is basically everyday off not assigned.

Just goes to show this TA isn't about saving them money. There are plently of QOL things in here that I HATE that truly wouldn't cost much or nothing at all for them to improve.

Do they think we're dumb the whole 4 GDO things and CA reserves flying right seat is an obvious cover up to keep running understaffed with new rest rules and screwing everyone when it try's to bite them

After looking into the reserve issue I have decided to vote NO! Although there were some improvements and now the fact that I have to be a first officer, and a captain, along with other problems directed me in the NO direction. So for you L-Expressjet pilots you now have more NO votes going to come from the ASA side as well. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of reserve pilots will be voting NO.

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned is that reserves get 12 days off in a 31 day month. However the definition of "31 day month" has been bastardized to be august-December. Yes, they are now changing the entire Gregorian calendar.

Is that at XJT because I'm pretty sure it remained the same 11 off every month for ASA pilots in the TA. I sure hope this steaming mound of crap is voted down.

It is going broke because almost all of its revenue is siphoned off to other government appropriations. Sound Familiar?
