Sorry to **** in your snow Red but reserve at Pinnacle isn't that rosy. You will be SCHEDULED for 12 hours of reserve and days off, but you WILL be called at 0530 on day one for an "out and back" which WILL turn into a 5 day trip. Then when you check out on day 5 they WILL extend you into your day off. When you check out on day 6 they will attempt to schedule you into DAY7 in violation of "contract"/FAR's. You are lucky to get 7 days off as a rsv, and good luck getting a comp day.
the treatment of employees here really is criminal, luckily for us the iceberg is dead ahead for management
See, to me that even doesn't sound that bad. I don't mind working at all. What I absolutely hate is getting called out at 2200 or so after you've been awake all day and getting sent on a 14+ hour duty day. The you fly home, and sleep all day, get up for a while, force yourself to go back to sleep that night, then be up all day the next day and get called out late again that night. Just the fact that I don't have to answer the phone after my 12 hours is up would be a huge relief.
