Operational question - Are the 190 CA reserves in JFK/BOS getting used or are they coming in under guarantee each month?

A lot that I fly with say it’s hit or miss. Some months it’s nits others it’ll be guarantee. Summer also just passed and had something to do with that.

I've hit over 90 hours every month since March and only had about 8 days where I was on call but didn't get used (since March)... but I do work weekends so your mileage might vary.

A buddy of mine told me “You’re not on reserve. You are a 90 hour line holder. The only thing is you don’t know what you’re going to fly yet.”

They dont- They never have. Theyll have to be scared into it by losing tens of millions in an IROP due to their idiocy. Theyll blame ATC, WX, and PH will send out another email begging us to pick up. Ill fly my schedule, enjoy my raise and live my life.
Im like watching the transition months and everyones' over-reaction to everything.

I'd like to start my reply using the green philosophy😄 ( when the next daily update comes out, scroll down and see if you find any green on the rsv grid?)...

Remember Oct 1st is when you can finish your month once you hit 75 hours. It may not really apply in October, but come the holiday months, it will. Imagine if folks get 75 hours by Dec 20th...holidays off. I know I'll try to ' time out' by the 20th-ish of Nov and Dec.

And since the rest of the reserve implementation won't occur for at least another year, you can bid trips all you like....with seniority.

Edit: the dream of ' timing out' requires unrealistic fuzzy math, but one irop could make it a reality.
