Yes.... it’s called seniority. Some of you are just disgracefully selfish. Enjoy the rare opportunity you have to spend so much time at home and appreciate the fact you still have your full pay and benefits.

let the record show I’m not complaining, I feel incredibly lucky to be here, I’d just like to get in an airplane.
in the meantime all I can do is look longingly at the huge list of DOT flying I can’t touch

Oh, and I’m a line holder that’s back to reserve. You guys were right all along, this 24hr LC living in base not doing anything all month is horrible. (Sarcasm)
You guys *****ing about not flying are probably the same guys that ***** about flying too much during busy times.

Rsv picking up on days off would reduce the pool of opentime it would be impossible to trade as a lineholder. The company would be paying everything in open time above guarantee and rsv would do very little on their work days as part of their guarantee. It would also all but eliminate premium pay for everyone.
Pre China virus I bid rsv on purpose usually so this is not just a lineholder perspective.

Are you seriously trying to compare Reserve life during Covid with reserve life in normal times?
”I’m a line holder, don’t know why guys are complaining, this reserve isn’t so bad since I know there’s 99.9% chance I will 1) not be called 2) not have my LC converted to SC during a commute 3) Not have any need to drop or swap days off since I basically have every day off and nothing I really need to do during quarantine”
