As for no JMs, I hear that's a deal breaker if we're forced to accept JMs. Who knows, though?
Anyone got any word from today's meetings?

A positive thing about the furlough and downgrades was that a lot of folks who were never touched by furlough policies have been thrown into the grinder and are now more sensitive to how it is to be screwed around by Crew Tracking, I think.
I'm hoping the new contract negotiations we're starting will do more to strengthen the reserve language in the contract and improve QOL as much as it can be improved given the general crappy-ness of reserve life. I'm pretty pleased with what I have read from various MEC communications and talking to my friends still on line that this has been an area that the MEC has taken to heart and been working on improving.
Not to say that management won't mess with it anyhow at their whim, but then that's what happens in AirlineLand, isn't it?

CommutAir: (Contract negotiations in progress)
-8 Hour ready reserve, 7a-3p OR 3p-11p.
-All reserve days pay 4.0 hours of flight pay, RR also adds in Per Diem.
-No limit to amount you can sit per month or consecutively.
*Note about our reserve guarantee: If you're rolled to an assignment off reserve or RR and it is blocked more than 4 hours, you're paid the additional time above 4 hours on top of your monthly guarantee.
Example: 76 hour guarantee, you fly once that month for 6hrs for the day. You will be paid 78 hours that month because you exceeded your 4 hour daily guarantee for that one day of flying. Reserves have the opportunity to make a lot of money over guarantee if they do a lot of flying that exceeds 4 hours per day.

I'm sorry you're right, it doesn't specifically say this and there are loop holes. This is assuming a max 5 day reserve block. With 5 reserve days, it would be impossible to sit RR more than twice because you can't sit RR on your last day. If it was a transition month and you were scheduled for 6 I suppose three times would be possible.

If the flight ends after your RR period, you're contactable for 30 minutes after. I am not sure if there is a limit of how many RR's you can have but I have never seen more than 1 complete crew per aircraft type. So 9 people sitting per RR period. However I haven't seen 900 or SAAB RR's for sometime.
We check in at Mesaba but not check out. To me this check out business you have is a non-starter for me...If the scheduling section is TA'd I would sure like to believe the type of bs you guys are going through is over.

Checking out for lineholders was gone in TA1, and I'm pretty sure it was gone in our Section 6 TA2 negotiations. Reserves still had to check out. If it got snuck back in during the JCBA, it's a step backwards from what was already negotiated and agreed upon.

Comair:
Ready reserves are 6 hours long.
Max 2 in a row.
Max 6 in a month.
Can only be assigned in domicile.
No seniority on RR (They give assignments out based on who's about to finish, not who's junior)
4:20 credit toward monthly guarantee.
A RR that becomes a 4-hour trip will still only pay 4:20.
A RR assigned at the end of a trip pays 4:20 in addition to the daily credit for that trip.
Start of RR also starts the 13:30 max scheduled duty period.
Pilots with more than 22 years or less than 3 years don't need to worry about RR (They're either furloughed or lineholders)
