I’m confused. According to section 25, the company is required to build as many hard lines as it can. The amount of flying left out of hard lines can’t be more than 5%. There’s no minimum that I can see. If anything, it might be fractionally higher than 5% just because of rounding error.
With the reduction of flying and number of lines, are they still obligated to keep flying in open time? Basically will they make lines with all the flying AA gives them or will they reduce the number of lines even further in order to keep flying in open time per the contract? These are kind of unprecedented times and you would think that they would make as many lines as possible and not keep flying in open time which nobody is going to pick up and will translate to people getting short called and jacked around on reserve.

It will be RSV for most of us. With any luck they will be smart and make RSV lines with more than 11 days off. However, that may be asking for too much common sense from PDT.

Though the more I think about this. If you have a side gig (presumably online), you can also easily do in hotel or crash pad or home (if you don’t commute).
Still makes taking a 75h line make much more sense.
Especially with some of those 30+h ‘overnights’! Nothing but time!

Call out sick? Or use the commuter clause? The problem is they will not make RSV lines with more than 11 days off if they are paying 75 hours of credit. Their argument will be if you wanted more days off then you should have taken a reduced line or voluntary leave. The only thing that can really be used is that due to the reduced flying commuting to PHL/CLT is going to be "not normal". So the best thing to do would be to call scheduling every day and try to get a later on call time and explain your commute to them. As far as commuting home, yeah....good luck?
