Default Reserve EasterEgg

I see that if you select Firstfly you wont be assigned airport standby. I was down the list and assigned ARPTSBY a head of 4 other guys, all FF. Thought this was not right, checked the new TA and yep….allowed. Thank you mister easterbunny.

So I wonder what happens when there are no more trips left, just standbys, and everyone left has selected first fly. Do they not fill the standbys, or do they say tough luck? I'm betting on the tough luck option.

Actually I think that was policy before this contract, it was just clarified specially in writing now.

Stbys should go in strict leveling order. Usually among those with two days availability. You do not get out of stby by first fly. May have to call crs.

"Yeah, hi, it's Viperdriver. Section 25.M.4 of the new contract is to be ignored. That is all."

It's blue in the TA. ( new language )
Kinda sucks. So. First fly guys stay at home and I get launched.

I just want to confirm....

Those guys that were bypassed had less leveling than you (or the same leveling and are junior to you)?

It's always been the practice. First fly means for flight events. Schedulers have sometimes forgotten it and put guys on first fly on airport standby. Sometimes it was just their turn according to leveling. I had one a few years ago call me to backfill a standby when I was on first fly but had more leveling than other guys available. I refused. They called someone else.

More leveling and junior to me, so yes if they weren't FF then I would go first. First fly might have always been that way and didn't know it. Contract just spells it out now.

So if I understand...after all trips were assigned, you had the least leveling and were assigned ASBY. If so, that's what's been going on in my seat for the entire time I've been on or property and on reserve (3 yrs).

Edit: I just saw your edit. I do believe it is just a clarification of the actual practice. Someone must have complained about not getting those on FF, so now it spells it out.
