When EPS in the middle of a RSV stretch goes away, does this mean if you get called out to do a turn or a 2 day you should pack your bag for your entire rsv stretch because without the EPS protection they could tack on 3 day if you still had 4 or 5 days of your RSV stretch left?

Is EPS the only thing preventing this currently?

Okay. After riding the senior Bus FO train for years, it looks like once section25 is complete, my ride is finally pulling into the station. I looked once at the CBA reserve section when the contract first came out but not really too big of a deep dive.

I'm thinking about biting the bullet and upgrading and was curious about those who are familiar with what reserve will look like once our CBA is fully inplemented.

I'm a commuter, so my thought was going to be to bid long call. My understanding is that's the silo the DRO will be built from and the short call for the remaining open time. Is that about right? How much would guys get used do you think based on historical open time. I realize it will differ season to season, just trying to get an overview.

Also, can reserve guys request or pick up trips on days off or do they have to request that from CS? Any other words of wisdom from the those knowledgable on the current and future reserve world here at JB would be appreciated.

Thanks.

FEB 04 hire! Like 2004?? Decent seniority is kinda an understatement. 🤣 I’m sure you’ll be fine.

All great stuff guys, thanks. I'll have decent seniority but there may be months where I'd rather sit long call because there's probably a good chance I won't get used at all. I know September is a big down month, what other months are pretty low reserve usage months?

LCR will get called before SCR when it goes into effect.

Yeah. The CKA trips getting withheld and the out of base VDAs going away are killing my way of life unfortunately.

Speaking of which, anyone hearing any rumors of when section 25 is suppose to be finished? I know it's suppose to be by end of year, but I've heard rumors it could be sooner. Like September sooner. Anyone else hearing anything?
