I just rode the company and contacted the right people until my issue was resolved. Now I can bid in January for my February schedule. Part of January will be reserve.
I read the section on scheduling in the CBA before I came here. Contractual language is different than SOP language. It can be interpreted. All of you are super smart, but for me contract language can be ambiguous. So I asked about it.
I wasn’t satisfied with the answer so I got it fixed.

It is BS because you will always miss a month if you are on leave and end up on a month of reserve with no choice in picking days off even if you would normally be #1 in base. You should be able to pick window + X number of "golden" days or something where they cannot schedule you and the rest is fair game.

You’re number last in domicile and you should be able to pick the window and the days and potentially get a long call even though your seniority couldn’t do that had you bid. Works both ways.

on a separate note but related 13.I.15.b.ii. Is a bit of a problem. That number (45) days didn’t exist last agreement. It was infinite. It needs to be reduced again to max of 30.

I’ll save you the searching. The only real way to end up on res when returning from a leave is coming back last min or dequaling and needing training. Even with that it’s possible you won’t be on res.

I came off of STD leave, was able to bid on Aug 3rd, for September, but was still on Res all of Aug. My only saving grace was dequaling landings and then needing to go back to the sim, they couldnt get me in for like a week and a half, so I only ended up actually being on reserve for 10 days of the month (2 weekends), but if I didn't dequal (flew the originally scheduled 3 legs on my original first callout on day 1 of my bucket), then I would have done like 16 reserve days over every single weekend.
The language that needed fixing was the fact the company could keep you from a paycheck indefinitely if you dequaled. 13.I.

Not here to poo all over your question or sass you, but I send a Scheduling Committee DART probably once every few months and they typically answer me in less than an hour and a few hours at most. Never had them lead me astray or give me a confusing answer.
