Well sitting ready reserve is considered working, and I don't ever remember that we have to sit ready reserve in the crew room so like big foot said, they will have a hard time getting a hold of people now that we can't be on our phones.

I don't see the logic behind the new vacancy bid. There are already 20 more captains than FO's on the 70/90 and they need 37 more captains and 14 more FO's. So that means we will have new totals of 219 captains and 176 FO's. Not to mention the minimum number of FO's they say they need is 180. Why do we need 43 more captains that FO's, and why are they putting themselves 4 FO's short of what they say they need? Does anyone ever even try to use their head over in the GO?
And since the average 70-seat Captain has about 20 years seniority, that's a lot of vacation weeks the FOs don't have.

That still doesn't explain why the FOs would be lower than minimum. The 15 are in addition to the last vacancy bid. Remember all the guys, like DiverDriver, who's training was TBD. So I think you add the 15 to all those and the number should be pretty solid.

If that's the case, then why didnt' they show negative CRJ50 captain numbers like they did on the displacement bid?

Give it time. I'm sure that you will eventually have a worse crew one day when you have been here a little bit longer.
