Yeah I just think it’d be tough because the majority of reserves are regular and ready reserve shifts and an educated guess is telling me that more than 17% of the reserve crew out there has to commute in, if it’s possible though it’s a great idea.

maybe because we have an useless union

Hey, I actually agree with your concerns but was able to address it with management a couple weeks ago in
March. First off more than 17% of FOs were given LCR. About 30+ FOs received LCR. The fact you didnt receive it
means that you didnt have the seniority to hold it. Guessing you were a spring 2019 hire or less.

Second, management explained to me that are United flying is fluctuating daily and cant predict the workload.
They will take a lot of flights off our routes and then the day before dump a few of them back on us. Leaving the
situation very unpredictable day-to-day. Since line holders cant work outside their original footprint (without being JS)
they need the RSV For staffing these fluctuations.

Third, they also predicted a lot pilots to callout sick, miss commutes, and drop undesirable turns. Because of this they
would also need the staffing available for these changes. Let alone we are going into TS season.

Now as far as the XJET guy on this board stirring up unnecessary drama...
Your argument makes no sense. Before this you could upgrade at Mesa at min requirement. So how exactly would you
make CA at Xjet faster?
second the only reason so many of you guys can sit LCR is bc your barely getting used at all. Lower B gates are a
ghost town compared to the rest of the airport. (And that is saying a lot)

The only reason your on here is bc you’re sour UA took your E175s away and then announced the phasing out of 50
seaters. While our delivery for 20 new ejets are still coming and date was pushed to Sep/Oct bc the Embraer factory
closed.

Look, I got friends at Xjet and I wish you all the best but no need to spread unnecessary garbage and to talk **** here.
Be informative.. we are in this together!!

Probably the same reason that they increased the buffer despite having twice as many reserves and half as much flying.

Nope I have been furloughed before and I expect to be again come 10/1. My family is extremely prepared. We don’t live beyond our means, our emergency fund is 12 months of living expenses and my wife has a well paying job.

Every CA I fit with I tell them no scope or concessions to save my job.

Did you bid for long call?

Hotels are hurting right now... see if you can get a deal and stay in one.

Our Union should have pressed for a deal with 50 hour Vol LOA's, like republic and skywest have done.

That would have solved your problem and saved ca$h for the company.

Senior people would have chosen an LOA, as a result, there would be much less reserves, plus reserves would be used flying.

As it is now, each and everyone gets paid 76 hours, that is having a line that has possibly reduced to 25 hours or less of total flying, or a reserve pilot flying nothing at all.

In your situation, I would just rent a private room somewhere for 450 bucks, drive your car there, move your off days to the end, and just stay there for 20ish days in a row.

My guess is that hotels keep their rates at around 50 bucks per night, fees included.
