Day off definitions: saga continues
He didn’t. Despite what he thinks, a reserve day where you didn’t get used is NOT a day off. It may feel like a day off, but it unequivocally is not.

Most people in the spring of 2020 didn't get used on reserve for whole months. Are you trying to tell me they shouldn't consider unused time as time off?

You yourself even had to qualify it with “effectively.” Is it almost the same as being off? Yes. Is it kinda like being off? Yes. Is it actually off? No.

This is not true. Most people at Delta bid reserve on the WB because they get unused on LC which is, effectively, a day off.

If I'm counting days I actually had to work, I absolutely ignore unused reserve days. If your contract allows long call reserve and people are able to bid during shoulder months so they don't get used, it's a contractual benefit. Just because you are technically "on call" doesn't mean you are working.

While I agree res is not a day off (it’s not considered one in any contract and has a value attached to it) long call is a bit different. That is considered legal rest and needs to stay that way.
