It has nothing to do with SAPA and everything to do with Mama D. Compass wet the bed right in time for the holiday travels and needs us to cover SEA. Those "RSV" blocks will turn into OBR or outright DH assignments to the West coast.

It's not regular reserve like 4 to 4 or 9 to 9. Your callout period is only your originally scheduled duty period. And they can only assign flying during your original duty period. So if you were scheduled to work 10am to 7pm, they can call you at 10am for a noon show and it must release by 7pm. And you'll get at least the credit that your original pairing paid.

I've had stuff cancel out like this in the past and I never wound up working. Granted I typically fly locals or split duties and don't know how it would play out on a 3/4 day.

But like I said, read up on it so they don't use you outside of policy. My guess is they will "reflow" some into trips out west. Watch the report/release times and the credit.

YX Delta departures in LGA are going from 43 per day in October to 60 per day in December.

LGA will likely close as YX receives CP’s aircraft. OO aircraft will migrate out west to cover CP flying while the “new” YX planes will cover OO’s LGA flying.

This is what I’m trying to tell everybody but nobody believes me. OO’s LGA base is toast.

6 of those CP aircraft will be coming to Skywest in 2020, in addition to 6 more new 175s

LGA was always a stop gap measure for only a few years. It was never intended to be anything long term.

DL needed some coverage until the C Series / A220 became available. And west coast flying was the bonus for SKYW to put up with the NY drama for some time.

Yes I agree. A lot of our coworkers disagree with us though. They're convinced it's sticking around.

Bases are fickle. Especially at a sub-contractor. If you don’t like the way things are, just stick around a bit and they’ll change! On the flip side, don’t get comfortable.

thanking SAPA for CXL RSV policy not moving flying around. requiring a lineholder to sit reserve (2hr callout) because of a schedule change does not seem industry standard.
