We need to fix some reserve rules in our next contract. One that really disturbs me is the switching of reserve schedules. I totally understand getting called out and doing a trip and coming back and not aligning with your original reserve window. However, randomly calling people like clock work and switching them from A to B is ridiculous. Now again, I understand that there might be holes that need filled from time to time. This company has taken it to the extreme! You want B reserves on a regular basis, then put them in the da*m bid packet! Total hog wash. They abuse that absolute sh*t out of that loophole. We need to make them more accountable for that. There needs to be a quoted that once is met requires B’s on following months or something. Figure it out union guys. 😂

"Availability of B and E Reserve in Navblue Beginning with the August bid period, the option to select B and E reserve in Navblue has been removed. Due to several behind-the-scenes limitations of Navblue, we do not foresee B or E reserve being offered in any position soon." - quote from 6/30/21 ALPA PBS Update.

it’s been 4 years now, they need to stop with the technical issue Bull 💩 excuse. If nav blu is unable to write the necessary rules within their program to allow for FDO, Or the ability to properly bid short call then the company needs to find a new provider. To bad alpa doesn't have a pair, perhaps if they did, this would have been fixed by now. This though, is what you get when a certain someone on the negotiating committee says he “doesn’t want to waste negotiating Capitol on reserve rules”
I couldn’t care less about what program I use to bid an fdo line. I agree with your other statement. Assuming you’re talking about the fact I can’t bid days off and res position simultaneously.

totally missing the point. Navblue has had years to fix the issues we have with bidding reserve. Obviously they don’t care because no one (alpa) doesn’t care. Not only was pbs a concession, we also lost the ability to actually bid within the reserve system on navblue. Alpa does nothing but make excuses for the company and for navblue.

I talked to a rep who told me that reserve rules don't matter because youre done so fast and why would anyone want to sit reserve?
Meanwhile I have been on reserve at home and have only touched the plane 3 times in the last month. It has been great. What would be better? more days off, longer call outs, auto releasing on last day after X time. Better rules..... Im sure those DEN guys are loving how he says reserve doesn't matter while they enjoy 2-4 years of reserve 18 years into their career.
