Default MIN Reserve Coverage

I believe the MIN levels for reserve have gone up in EWR/756. September/October were easy months to trade or drop last year. Just looking at first 2 weeks of MIN levels in November..and they seem to be higher then last year...Kirby effect??

I feel like it’s harder to get a reserve day swap now with the pool display. Before I never really got push back on swapping and now it’s “oh I’m sorry that won’t work.”

Wait for the shift change. I’ve been refused even though it’s plus on coverage. "Why?" "Well, it doesn’t make sense. Lineholders will take it down to zero eventually." "Huh?" Over coverage is over coverage. How about the reserve take it down to zero. Wait six hours, "no problem."

Just so you know, the pool was still there even though you couldn’t see it again until recently.

Bottom line, company has the hammer on approving RSV schedule modifications. Call back after shift change and try again.

Good thing we gave up conflict bidding for the 50 hour drop minimum going away.
Winning...

It’s a huge win. I can’t tell you how many times I tried to pick up a trip someone wanted to drop but couldn’t because CrewCompanion said it wasn’t legal for the other guy to drop due to min hours. On my fleet there are always senior guys looking to drop day trips and fly low time. It also greatly affects wide body guys. Many fleets wouldn’t even be able to trade because of the way IT set up the trades.

It’s not just about doing straight drops. The company will always control min res level unless we can change that in section 6 negotiations.

So yeah it was a HUGE win for a majority of the pilot group vs a small give for the very small minority.
