You will have to fight for your hard earned pay every 15th. They almost always short you, and it is up to you to find out where and how and get it back. Eventually after a near decade of consistent shorting, blaming the system, or the manual hand audit, or just contract misinterpretation goes out the window and becomes plain illegal and unethical behavior. They always pay, but ONLY if you stay on top of it. That is what really happens here.

Some great answers, I appreciate you taking the time to respond!
Is reserve just a two hour call out or do you have long and short call?
RSV trips may be added to your schedule at any time, you are only required to be available to answer your phone starting with the beginning of your RAP. Minimum call out time is 3 hrs to BLOCK OUT.
What is the pilot community like? I really enjoy most of the people I fly with where I am currently, so curious what the pilot group is like there.
How are the South of the Border trips? Are trips enjoyable?
99% Hard working professionals who are great to fly with, and about 1% idiots who make special deals with scheduling for greed. It used to be fun, and still has its moments, but the overall morale is low due to management dragging out negotiations while our airline peers have prospered at less profitable (per aircraft) airlines.
The advice to tread cautiously is very much appreciated. I don't want to stumble into the middle of a strike situation. I'm thinking that it maybe wiser to sit on the sidelines and observe for a bit...
Thanks again....
