Reserves got hammered last contract. No dropping or moving. Basically get what you're awarded.

More flexibility for lineholders. More 200%. More dropping. Less holidays.

Horse refused to drink, so I drowned the horse.

Reserves can X/Y, but unless you can hold weekends off, not much overtime opportunity.

You also have to be legal, which is difficult on a reserve schedule.

No picking up trips on reserve.

Horse moved, so I shot it.

.

That’s exactly correct. Plus reserves only get 12 days off (13 in 31-day months). Lineholders get great QOL for the expense of reserves. Which is 30% + of the pilot group.

Congratulations.

Reserve here sucks and is no better than at the regionals... this needs to be fixed in the JCBA. I know captains in certain bases that have been on reserve for 3 years, that's not hyperbole. Working under our reserve rules for 3 years sounds bad.

Congratulations.

Was specifically trying to figure out where all these Green Day’s came from. Never said I don’t like DTZ, but it had to come at some expense. I wanted to know what that expense was. Now I know a majority have an option at the extreme expense of a minority.
