I hear ya....I was just throwing the info out there. I would expect the XJT provisions to carry over to the next contract, plus tying up any ambiguous language in our current reserve rules.

[QUOTE=ysslah;1141207]As much I would love to see a ready reserve period getting cut to 4 hours, I understand we can't get everything we want.
Why are you ready to concede the idea of cutting the RR to 4 hours? Are you in the short call reserve bracket? Just wondering.

I am a short call reserve. 2 problems I can come up with on top of my head with cutting RR to 4 hours from 8 hours.
1. It will cause double the number of people to be on ready reserve per given day. This may or may not be a big issue for some people. I know plenty of people who live more than an hour from the airport. It'd get really old to drive all that way just to get 4 hours of credit.
2. I think we have other things that needs to be fixed first in our reserve system before the length of a ready reserve section. In fact, I'd take 8 hours of credit for 8 hours of ready reserve before 4 hours of credit for 4 hours of ready reserve.

We already drive all the way to the airport for 4 hours of credit. I agree though, they are going to need more people to sit RR. Although I agree we need a lot of improvements in our reserve section and our QOL as a whole. However, for me personally, the length of RR is also low on my list.

We already do 8 hours for four ours credit. I say we limit the number of RR assignments to maybe 4. Thn make it hour for hour. So 8 hours credit for 8 hours. I would prefer the xjet system and get 4for 4 but would accept 8for 8.
