depends on where you're trying to go...

A few months ago HSV-2 went airborne and broke out worldwide causing mass flight cancellations. It’s been a real kick in the crotch to the travel industry.

OK. At f9 turns are Sr at senior bases and jr at jr bases. The best time to negotiate for something is when it doesn’t cost you money (your not doing it) and or management is trying to solve some issue (I.e pilots dequaling). Kind of reminds me of when our mec chair said why would we need min calendar day? We don’t do that type of flying. Now we do a ton of it. Just passing along info. Not looking to argue about it. Good luck, back to f9 thread for me.

Last thing I’ll say. Allowing reserve pickups on days off is a good deal if structured properly. It seems to me you have an opportunity for an Loa. I know your and our current/old language fairly well. Good luck!

No. DOW futures goin crazy up. Lots of economic hope and things opening. Personally I think the market is way over inflated but why fight the Fed?

SAVE is showing $14.32 pre-market.

Now we seem to care about reserve language.

Certainly didn’t during the CBA vote.

Good deal for who? Not for line holders as the ability for reserves to pick up does two things: 1. Reduces the limitation (117) on what can be done during their time on reserve due to what was picked up. 2. Reduces our Red/Green grid which inhibits what line holders can do (add, drop, swap) because there would have been a reduction in the Reserve Grid.

This is certainly not to thumb one's nose at the Reserve pilots as that schedule serves a vital purpose. But many of us went through that crucible with the pain of flying the crappy trips, repo-flights, and everything else that came our way. But seniority should have certain benefits through longevity.

I bid back to rsv pre China virus and like it. The no dropping from the outside in on one block at least is an issue but I don’t want to have rsv picking up on days off. It reduces x/y and limits lineholder flexibility. Why are we looking for ways people can pick up at straight pay? Anything on anyone’s day off should be 200% period.

As far as working bad trips/repos etc etc. working a couple of those instead of 80 hrs of 4 days is oh so much better. 4 four days for 8 house sounds like torcher.

Solid spelling there. Don’t drink and post
