Quote:
For a reserve (at least at my company) seniority just determines how good of a reserve line you get. Long call reserve goes senior. Reserve lines with weekends off will go more senior. If you're at the bottom of the list you typically get short call on weekends. Once you're senior enough to actually start holding trips you become a lineholder or a composite line holder (half trips half reserve).Originally Posted by soakingpilot
Ok sorry to go back to this again. But if seniority is just the ability to bid certain trips etc. Do you bid up to your 75 hours per month? Following that then there is no real difference between holding a line and being on reserve other than the fact that if you hold a line you have the ability to bid for better work periods and you have more control over what they will be instead of the table scraps that are left over? Please correct me if I'm wrong here.
