people are ****ed because line holders made out better. Nothing changed from the VILs perspective. They bid for and got exactly what they wanted. Life sucks, it isn’t fair.
I’m on RSV, so in reality I should be more ****ed off than anybody. RSV gets fisted once again.....

Agreed, they can’t have it both ways. The amount of people who won’t dequalify and want to take VIL will be quite small.

Boy, you sure do ***** A LOT!
So why are you so bitter, did you take the first available upgrade knowing that reserve sucks, or are you to junior to hold a line? I'm trying to understand your rational. Reserve sucks anywhere.

Reserve isn’t necessarily about being junior or new. It’s just another type of schedule consisting of being of availability periods instead of trips.

If anyone took the VIL out of some altruistic sentiment, bless your heart. After reading these posts I feel you are in the minority.
I would also challenge anyone to find an example in the entire history of this industry where pilots falling on their swords avoided what comes next.
edit: And yes, RSV gets screwed again but that's roughly 70% our fault.

I'm fairly senior in the company smartas$. This isn't about reserve sucking to begin with. We all know what reserve is, and no, it shouldn't have to suck.
Bottom line is lineholders should have been placed on TAJ and trips should placed over those days. My job as a reserve is not covering lineholders getting the free ride gravy train for the month making guarantee or better.
...and it's *rationale.

Boom!! I think the bigger concern is why would the company, in the midst of unprecedented financial stress, keep line holders off the hook for TAJ and then pay them extra to pick up flying in place of that? Would love to hear the APC rationale on how this is congruent with the CBA and shouldn't be of concern to people who work here...

This too. It completely defeats the purpose of offering VIL.
