No senior round 1 pilot will bid reserve as long as there is hot reserve. So if a senior guy were to get used while on hot there is no guarantee that they won't put additional flying on him once he is out. If they really wanted to make an improvement they could just take AA mainline's rules and insert them into our contract. Then maybe you would have an improvement.

You figure that you’re going to be released at 5 pm tomorrow and there are 3 flights you can hop on to get back home tomorrow night. Then scheduling calls. You have a trip 2 day trip starting today. It’s a DH to CLT, an overnight to BHM, and then a couple of legs ending in PHL, followed by a double DH back to your base. You check the schedule and you will miss all flights that could get you home tomorrow by the time you’re released. You ask scheduling why aren’t you giving this to a PHL reserve. They say that there are no more reserves in PHL, but there’s no way for you to verify that. Then why isn’t this going to one of the 10 other reserves in your base with more days left. Because you’re the only person in the 2 day bucket.

Your 2 days off just got halved. But on the bright side, you get flow, in 8 years.
Hahaha well as a captain on rsv ummm you nailed it!!!!! Eye roll
