You are LAX777 right? There are 27 active FOs. Anyways that doesn't matter.

I'm up to speed on flying into days off, happens a lot to me, so what did I say that was wrong?

Glad crew sked calls you at a descent hour because I assure you that's not the case for RSV on the 787 in SFO. Calls at midnight for a SC the next day is common practice.

As far as WB being junior there are 3 year seniority pilots on the 777 in ORD, DCA, EWR, SFO, on the 747 in SFO and the 787 in SFO. Please tell me why that is.

 

read my earlier post on why WB 777 going junior.

There are many younger pilots who are happy making 73-75 hours of 777/787 pay and not work. To make the equivalent amount of pay on the 756 you would need to work 90+ hours each month... and 100+ on a NB.

Pretty simple actually why guys/gals are bidding it...

 

I don't understand your reasoning here. It looks to me like you just made an argument for why WB FO should be senior?

 

The reserve section in the CBA is currently being used as a door stop over in the crew pay department. When they are done with it, they will consider giving it back to the crew desk to be used as giant paperweight.

 

But it's perfectly clear about release to 10 hours of FAR rest. Three examples just to be sure there's no doubt.

 

I love my job here at United and feel this job is 85 percent as good as it could / should be. That said I'm with you guys 100 percent with wanting to make reserve a little better. And I too support the the idea that I always try to leave a place a little better off than how I found it. Having been involuntarily on reserve for 2 years since being hired I have seen quite a few examples of things that shocked me were legit after filing PDRs.

Getting rid of the freedom to roll our days off without limits is top on my list. We should also be paid add pay for rolled days off and be able to restore the day where we choose, not where the company chooses. My regional had these provisions.

Get rid of the unused provision in SC/FSB pay. As well as paying for every one, not after the first two and up through the 5th only.

Build all SC and FSB assignments by 10am the day prior. Except in the case of irregular ops.

Fix the recent implementation of only being able to pick up
a trip in your silo in the 1100 STT once your reserve days have started. Silo minus 1 has always been allowed until recently.

There are more I would support but these are the biggies.

 

That's not cool. You've bent the data beyond recognition. Previous post:

There were 319 SFO 787 FOs listed in the March awards. I haven't gone through to see how many are active, but I can guarantee you that it's less than 333.

As far as WB FO going junior, that should be 'fixed' when the whale gets parked. ... I don't consider WB FO to be junior (most can hold left seat narrowbody), but I base my opinion off of more than the junior man in seat.

I've made peace with the reserve system. If the reserve system changes, I'll make peace with the new system.

 

Not sure what I bent out of recognition? If 5 pilots bid RSV voluntarily in LAX 777 FO then RSV is voluntary. If 7 pilots bid RSV in SFO 787 FO then 53 more will still be given RSV.

Go look st the APR staffing page 331 active 787 FOs in SFO so I GURANTEE you you are wrong.

 

So now you're going to change from present tense to future tense. Interesting. ... you DO know that 331 (a dubious and optimistic number) is less than 333, right? So that would make me correct.

You voluntarily bid WB FO so by proxy you voluntary bid reserve for several years.

It's not really that important to me, but I can't understand why someone who has less than 4 years on property would bid WB FO knowing that he'd be on reserve for years, then has the gall to complain about the reserve system. You were on property long enough to know how the reserve system worked well before you were awarded SFO 787.

 

I see now you didn't read my first post......Didn't even make it past the second sentence.
