PHL lost 4 lines and those 4 lines worth of flying showed up in ORF (1), TYS (2) and DAY(1)

Which is why reserves should be flying 20-30 hours on average each month...not 75+, like some are complaining about not getting.

In management's dream scenario, every single reserve pilot would work exactly enough to reach 75 hours of credit, every month, with all flying covered without any paid to lineholders as premium. That would be the perfectly staffed airline, from their perspective.

I have a collective time of 1 year of reserve here between FO and CA I averaged 29hrs a month. I know of few reserve guys who fly over 40 hrs. When I had LCR and flew every week I didn’t break 38hrs *sighs*

The best part is, if scheduling is following the new rules set forth in the LOA that does nothing to actually 'enhance' reserve, there could very well be a junior reserve with a first-out preference, and a senior reserve with a last-out, and those preferences may essentially mean nothing, as scheduling is constricted to what bucket and RAP someone belongs to.

Ask me how I know...

Lol and then ironically scheduling hates the new rules as much as we do, so they responded by refusing to give guys their times for the next day around 7-9 in the evening (which has been the standard for years)

Now you've gotta chat with scheduling every night at 11pm for them to confirm that yep you're still on reserve tomorrow.

To piggyback... is DCA available right out of training?

As do I. On my very last day they put a 1700 repo on me, and guess what... there were 2 guys junior to me in the 2 and 3 day bucket. Gotta really love being on reserve here if you're a commuter, you can kiss that last flight home good bye.
