RAH likes to run lean. well, HR likes us to run lean. as of 9/8, there were zero FO reserves on the S5 certificate. they've been using CAs as FO reserves all month.

i couldn't drop a trip the minute that trip trading opened up because we have no reserves.

Probably, b/c if you are who are I think you are, they weren't planning on you be available for this month so all of the open time was covered with CA reserves. Now we have some FO reserves on S5 who were saved from the furlough. Things will be back to normal next month.

Oh I understand that.

I was just pointing out to BT that there are in fact reserves available doing nothing but playing super nintendo games on thier laptops when there are few guys on flica that are begging to have a few trips dropped this month.

Yeah, the thing that sucks about FLICA is that you can't drop trips directly to a reserve. If the system doesn't see 5ish on the day you want to drop, forget it.

If you want to work, call crew scheduling and ask to be released because you have something very important to do, watch how fast you get called.
You'll catch on

And Flica puts a * on whatever day you want to ask off so it's marked on your calendar.

I was skeptical about the change from Flica to Sked+ at EV but so far it's working out really well

the question then rises of whether or not your company has set things up good for them, or for you. the way RAH does reserves is different from most other places i've seen. they build up a reserve's schedule within 3 days of awards coming out. thus, below min reserves for most of the month.

if sked+ comes with smarter use of reserves, then please, sign me up. cause i'm gonna be back on reserve again come november.
