I can barely understand the existing rules, let alone the new ones. Anyone got a Cliff Notes version?

Have to bid days off in PBS (it builds your reserveine based on "coverage days"). But we can swap reserve days in sked+, proffer for what trips we want or type of trip, long hotel for TDY... Normal senority while
On TDY, last day of reserve "commuter relief",... I don't think bidding in PBS will be as bad as it sounds... But will see..

Reserve proposals are on the sapa web site.

I gotta say PBS bidding for days off on reserve makes me pretty nervous. The others are nice changes. Having the ability to choose between PBS for a line and a hard line (RSV) is IMO a good thing.

I thought this was interesting. Majors are growing but not at a tremendous rate despite record profits. Biggest U.S. Airlines Are Profitable?And Reluctant To Add Capacity | Commercial Aviation content from Aviation Week

The PBS bidding isn't a done deal, it is still in proposal development purgatory, but it has been a disaster for junior FAs, although FAs are clueless in general when it comes to bidding, soo...

Most of the rest of the rules have the standard "as staffing permits" loopholes so you can bet your butt that they'll get bent/ignored according to standard methods. Proffering would be nice, but that is also still stuck in purgatory, so basically PM and LC reserves get done early on their last day if they haven't been used. Yay.

They are called FAR117, read it, know it, live it! Remember SGU will not agree to ANYTHING unless they solely benefit. If you remember this template you will not be suprised. Example: You call SS and ask for a day of vacation, if there is a snowballs chance of you being needed, denied, if there are 25 reserves and its 2355, they will "give" you the day off in exchange for 3.75hrs of user time. See how it works....
