They’ll just bump inc in the premium add folder till it’s covered. It won’t be an issue unless we’re understaffed. This forces a premium on covering last min flying. It’s a good thing IMO. Or we can go back to pilots stepping all over each other last min in opentime to pickup with zero incentive (LOA 65). The only downside I see it to those willing to do last min flying for no premium.

Gotcha, fcoolaid......just realizing now that this aspect of the CBA really neutralizes the ability of a senior FO or CA to add flying to their line....I think most were already aware.........guess I better get my Flica alerts updated and be quicker on the old iPhone......

Giving the ability for reserves to pickup on a day off is a give from a lineholders perspective. Having said that trying to make everyone happy is nearly impossible. I’m a lineholders and it doesn’t bother me. At all. What did bother me was the whole group of pilots we had calling crew scheduling (per LOA 65) picking up flying the day of then commuting out to wherever to do redeye. Completely bypassing the vja ja process. Basically taking away leverage at the negotiating table.

I know you are right, fcoolaid......probably better or gonna be better with new airplane adds over time.....I’m not hating on reserves, gosh knows we needed to improve those options considerably, and I think the NC done good there.......just hating it when I realize I’ve lost one or more ways to add flying/$ only when I’m in the middle of a month......but most guys I fly with these days don’t chase it like me.....oh well, at least baseball season is only days away.....

Trust me, as someone who is probably going to be on permareserve for the foreseeable future I would gladly trade the ability to pick up flying on my 12 days off for the reserve QOL works rules we gave up.

Yes! The one sports season I look forward to. Go Mariners!

You and me both. If your referring to giving up the ability to basically make yourself legal for only two day trips I agree that was a give. IMO It was also something that we were not going to be able to keep and reach an agreement. Now on most res lines you have the ability to make yourself legal for three days or less. Think tradeboard and make other res friends in same seat and domicile. Takes the grid out of the equation. Also keep in mind there’s still negotiating left to accomplish (pbs). We Really don’t want to just show management the issues they have. It’s clear they read this.

Again, spot on, koolaid....I think my plight is largely self inflicted being at the itty bitty base....I hear the MCO PAF folder has been a rockin’.....oh well.......I lorn for the old rules (vacay still with us, for now), but that ship has sailed.......

With a little seniority, we should be able to bid our rsv schedule in PBS exactly the way we want it. w/ min 3 day blocks of course.

Can anyone tell me if reserve guarantee is 70 or 75 hours? Or possibly some other erroneous amount that I haven’t seen published.
