Management rights, contractually we have nothing preventing them from turning a layover day into a R1 or R2.

There’s much more transparency with scheduling and way better work rules at these places. Unfortunately, I don’t think things will improve overnight. Scheduling is just operating under our contract. Just know that the 747 and 767 operations are night and day. 747= happpy times, drinking beer in HKG. 767 = work, work, and a couple beers on 1/7 in Ohio.

2 parts of the contract right here in which there should be waves to prevent this:
“Layover” may be designated on the Bid Lines in which no duty is scheduled and the Crewmember has no obligation to stand by for an assignment. A Layover Day may also include a Crewmember’s legal rest away from a Crewmember’s Base.
The Crewmember will receive a 4 hour credit towards his Bid Line guarantee or the actual hours flown, whichever is greater, only if Crew Scheduling actually assigns him a trip or reserve status (R3) or reserve status (R2) at the time of contact; otherwise he will remain in Layover Day status. Note which reserve status are mentioned.

$440 on year one pay not to drink a beer for a day while at work on one of the 16 days a month while spending 14 days at home drinking as many beers with the $440 you earned while not drinking beer isn't bad. It only gets better when you're a captain.

That assumes you are over guarantee. Below guarantee you’re sitting reserve for “free”.
