Care to explain why they think it’s bad. Just for comparison.

Honestly it’s to much to type but I’ll give he big reasons. For more in depth do a search in the United forum there are atleast 3 long threads with a lot of issues presented.

1. No limits on the amount of SC/FSB conversions
2. 24hr phone availability with poorly worded assignment windows.
3. No transparency on the historical need for SC/FSB pilots per day. The amount of pilots converted appears to be completely at the whim of a crew scheduling manager. Clear blue beautiful day with good weather across the country and 15 pilots are on SC And 5 are FSB? All assignments will get assigned and then a shift will change and you will get a call at 2am for a SC/FSB assignment.....Why?
4. Rolling days off for intl crews. Will assign a SC to a 6day reservist and assign a 6 day trip to a 3 day reservist. They want the 6 day pilot on reserve because they can do more with him.
5. We are considered system reserves. So if you are in an overstuffed vase you would think you would be sitting at home with your family. Nope they build a ton of SCs so they can give you a 2.5 hour callout to DH somewhere in the country.
6. First in first out has its perks but it creates a situation where your seniority means exactly nothing when you are on reserve. Your life is dictated by where you sit in a silo with no assignment bypass options.
7. Only 12 days off.

I know I’m forgetting stuff........

A 3 day reserve can be assigned a 6 day trip?! Any additional compensation for that?

Only international or global reserves can be rolled for an international trip. As a 787 pilot I cannot be rolled for a SFO-IAD but can for a SFO-FRA....... And no extra compensation. It’s a complete load of garbage. You get the days off back on your next block of reserve days.

Domestic reserves cannot be rolled into their days off.

Good to know. What do you think of ours from your perspective?

Probably need to post what they are first

I v never seen Jet Blues reserve rules
.

Oh, then you are in for a treat.

software failure.

• Company is only permitted to convert a maximum of 5 days per bid period from
Long Call to Short Call

Reserve Pilot to convert, which factors in days of available reserve and number
of previous conversions for the Bid Period
• Unless in a Level 2/3 IROP, Company may only covert via the DRO process
• Long Call Reserves will be the primary means for assignment of open Pairings
in the Reserve Assignment Process (DRO) and unassigned Pairings that are
more than 14:30 prior to report time
• Long Call Reserve Pilots assigned a next-day Pairing in the DRO or by Crew
Services is released from reserve obligations until report time of the Pairing so
long as the company is not in a level 2 or 3 IROP at the time of assignment.
• Example: DRO published 0800 on Monday assigns a Pairing with a report
of 2000 on Tuesday. Pilot is off duty with no Company obligations until
2000 report on Tuesday.
