Alaska has by far the worst rsv system because they define days off as 24hr periods not calendar days. It’s unbelievable and all because senior guys think rsv is supposed to be junior and suck. It never occurred to them that they might want rsv if the rules were good.
Southwest has probably the second worst not because of poor work rules but because they use you like a line holder every single month. If the company is going to work you that much without exception then there’s really no point to being on rsv.
I don’t think any majors have airport standby but I stand to be corrected.
We lost a lot on rsv but not the worst... yet

That would have to be a pretty handsome reward to get me to live in ATL, DTW, MSP, or whatever hell hole of a domicile they have in the northeast. I think I'll just chill here and join the under 35 Airbus CA club living in base in Florida.

Of course theirs is contractual and I have seen a small trend of rsv utilization going up here.

That’s true but if you have to work all the rsv days and 85hrs of block the days off seem well insignificant compared to 12/13 days off and only getting used half or less of the time and 30 hrs of block.

Edit: There was one month just after contract DOS that I didn't get called once, but that was an anomaly for sure.
