Short Call Reserve Pairing Assignment Pass for Next Day Assignments
On each Short Call Reserve day, a Short Call Reserve (excluding RSA
Reserve) may elect to pass using FLiCA, prior to the start of the Next Day
Reserve assignment process. The Company shall grant Short Call Reserve
pass requests in seniority order when either:
i. Two (2) or more Pilots have equal number of Reserve days during
the Next Day Reserve assignment process; or
ii. Two (2) or more Pilots have equal number of Reserve days and the
same RAP start time for Pairing assignments made after the DRO
closes for the next day.
In other words, exactly what we have now. Unless you hold LCR the only real change is the silo you can ASK for.

Yup, and even though (for me at least) most assignments are same day instead of next day assigments, all the next day assignments are going to go to LCR's first. So if it ends up being 30% of rsv guys are long call but they're all getting the next day assignments, they are going to fly a lot I think. That coupled with the fact that 5 days can be converted to SCR* and the fewer days off for guys awarded Long Call, I'm concerned that Long Call guys are going to end up with very few days at home. Also, "A Reserve may not UTO below 70 hours"**, while a lineholder can.

This is the entire section on staffing, from page 126:
I expected to see more legalese in this section. I feel like it's full of holes... Maybe it's just me and I know there are smarter people than me on here. For example, it says "reserve positions...shall be 10%". 10% of what? I think it's implying they should be 10% of the total positions or 10% on top of the line-holder positions needed to cover flying but it doesn't say that.
M. Staffing
1. Minimum Base Requirements: Each base will be staffed with Captains and First
Officers sufficient to operate the flying to be conducted by that Base.
2. Reserve Staffing: The minimum number of reserve crew positions for each
equipment type system-wide shall be ten percent (10%).
3. Staffing Projections: When calculating the staffing needs of individual Bases, the
Company shall use the projected block hours to be flown divided by the monthly
maximum bid divisor (90) minus four hours (4:00). Further, the Company will
increase the number of Pilots needed to ensure the Base remains staffed
sufficiently to account for full time Management/Association Pilots, vacations,
sick leave, leave of absences, training, etc..

Not sure if your post is in response to me or to everyone, but I'm not worried about what ALPA implied by "10%", I'm sure the intentions were good. I'm worried about how a company lawyer will pick this apart when used for determining how to operate. However, I will ask ALPA how they intend to prevent this from getting picked apart.

Not intended for anyone in particular. Just wanted to provide another information source.
