Silver is in no position to give us an ultimatum, as another prominent union rep made it out to be. If scheduling can't figure out how to assign a 4 day trip on a rsv pilot then why should we have to bend? MM needs to create better lines instead of just pressing a magic button and letting the sabre system generate bs lines, or learn how to overlap rsv schedules, just a little thought into what she does will go a long way. Hmm, I wonder if Spirit is having this issue? Oh wait, Spirit is attracting pilots, my bad

It just amazes me that the company will blatantly try to put this 18 consecutive day rsv crap in, knowing very well that pilots are quiting left and right. Have they been paying attention to what's goingnon over at GLA? What improvement in QOL is 18 consecutive days away from home going to bring? Who freaking cares about going to Austria, Puerto Rico or BF Egypt on your days off, isn't that what vacation and trading is for?

I believe the writing is officially on the wall. This place is right behind GLA if they "management" don't get their crap together! I'd hate to see this place follow GLA, but I will never vote Yes to this crap!.

Also the current contract doesn't have a lot of rules for reserve, times can be switched at will, in the month to month transition they could have you on 13 days in a row and just give you the required break somewhere. But the one rule that should absolutely not be given up is that a reserve's day off is immovable without his consent. They own you from midnight on day one to midnight on the last day. Don't let them have your scheduled days off too.
