Agreed. I’d like the DTZ to stay more than the 150% OT. But I want RSV pilots included in the DTZ ability. As far as I know NK RSVs can’t drop to zero like lineholders.

At JetBlue we already get flight benefits in retirement as well as retiree Zed agreements with most carriers we had as an active employee. That’s fairly standard across the industry.

Say it again. Sure seems like Positive Space commuting became a thing while locals have only taken it in the shorts the last 2 years with an ever worsening parking situation (looking at you JFK/BOS...LGA being a lone bright spot). I don't begrudge the PS commuting but the union sure doesn't seem interested in our joke of a parking situation.
I’m being facetious in case it wasn’t clear.

Things I like at NK -
No same day starts(2 in 1)
No red eye plus 1 - my favorite trip is 0455 to Houston and then back home the next day 10 hours pay 5 hours flying, back at my house by 9 am
When assigned a trip, reserve have line holder protection.
Alternate dead head - arrive at your DH location, call, either have to assign you something or release you. Small victory but got released in LAS Saturday before Easter, caught a ride home that day, was off paid until Monday afternoon, for example.
Of course red/green DTZ schedule flexibility but y'all have heard about that ad nauseum

Nobody really drops to zero at NK. Some drop a bunch and then play the "will I get a 200% call since I have the time off." I would not get too caught up in drop to zero as a literal meaning, that is a regular event here at NK. Personally we need to find a drop number that works for the majority of the pilots and a system that doesnt require swaps, screw having to need someone to take your flying.
Plenty of times I have dropped to 50, enjoyed the time off, decide if I want to work 200%, and did not have to worry about maintaining certain credit.

I hope the SCL reserves in MCO are demanding an extra 30 minutes when they get called in for a trip. The company expects it, crew services should provide it.

Ahhhh there it is! Weeks of pulling teeth and arguing about "drop to zero" and finally we get the truth that we on the JB side suspected all along. Seems like it's a nice perk for super junior guys with horrible lines and for the extreme small minority who just don't want to work ever. Not worth spending a ton of negotiating capital on, but could use it to leverage a better reserve grid system and drop to a reasonable level of credit (35 or 50?).
First round - drop to 50 by seniority, if grids are green.
Second round - drop to 25 by seniority, if grids are green.
Third round - drop to zero, first come, first served.
