Hopefully there is someone on here That can take time out of there day to answer my question on the forum, and not explain to me that I need to reference the FSM...

I Got a rsv hybrid for next month. What's the likely hood they actually use you on rsv during those days. I know there are PLENTY of circumstances on being used vs. not. But if you're breaking guaranteealready are you per say on the "back of the list" for getting called vs those with less credit?

Please refrain from telling me how worthless I am from not reading the FSM about this.

Felt, they'll still work you above 75, and not bypass you, if that's what you're asking.
You also can't move the RSV days, or get LC, if I remember correctly.
At least in FLL, these hybrid lines make good credit. They usually have 70-75 hours already, then get paid for trips on RSV days. There's one guy who is always over 100 credit with his hybrid line.

How long do you have to be employed to get profit sharing?

Your question really doesn't have a reference to the FSM...

But there's no real good answer either. It's a total crap shoot and depends on which base, which plane, weekends on/off, is there an IROP coming, AM/PM?

just... for the love of god, be available when you get called so they don't have to fire another pilot for being stupid.

Also since you're a hybrid line you get 4:12 or better per RSV day that they use you. It might make sense to bid for any RSV trip you can and build up your monthly credit.

I stand by my comments on scheduling. I did some fact checking and since my first flight on OE, only 18% of my flights have been on time. Just my experience, not indicative of the operation as a whole. My worst delays have been exculsive of IROPs, however. As far as my 'belligerence' comment, it was just my impression of the tone of our MEC. I have always been a member in good standing with ALPA and I also give to the BPF. So flame away I guess. Just not drinking the blue juice yet, nor am I opposed to drinking it in the future. Take it as you will.
