”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”

And don't forget the Covid only 24 hours vs the normal 12. He's really hurting. Poor feller.

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)

Go ahead and try to bid LCR in about two years when we get back to normal. Then report back.

Apples and oranges man.

Did you sell any? If not, you still haven’t made any money (just as you didn’t lose any when shares were down).

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.

F9 pilot here. Res can pick up on thier days off under our current agreement. Subject to all grid and domicile limitations. The company assigns a predetermined block and duty to your reserve duty periods then makes sure your 117 legal for the pickup. I believe the negotiated numbers are 4 block and 6 duty to the existing res days. There’s still been plenty of premium. Pre Covid anyhow.

Our shop rsvs could pick up (pre-Covid) on days off. It was never a problem for lineholders because reserves only have 12 days off and unless it was a day trip, you had to change your entire month schedule to be legal to pick up a trip. Eg, say you want to pickup a 4 day trip. You need 6 off in a row. Day off, add 4 day, day off. Now the rest of the month, you only have 6 more off days. Getting it all spread out exactly as you need it was very tough. I found it easier to add two 2-days separated. Because then you could do a 2-day trip and still have 3 rsv days before or after and be legal.

Bottom like though, it was still tough to move days around and be legal. But there were months I was getting 79 hr reserve guarantee plus getting 21+ hrs for picking up 4 days of extra work. 100+ credit months.

It works well for res pilots that live in domicile to bump up credit with turns. That’s the intent. For res commuters aggressive bidding 2 or 3 Day trips that start on a res duty period and go into a day off works well as long as it’s finish early on a day off. That leg plus any rig is over guarantee. Same going into a block of res duty periods. Kill an rdp if your getting used anyhow and bump credit substantially. From a lineholders prospective it is a bit of a give. There’s more pilots competing for the same flying in open time. I’m a line holder but don’t mind it as you never know when you could end up on reserve. More options is usually better.

What turns? Here at NK turns go to the training department. I thought everybody knew this.
