the question is where that price point is. If it comes down to cancelling a global flight I suspect they won’t even blink to shell out 5-10 hours of override / premium pay.

Reserve rules truly need to be changed!

Sorry if this is somewhere in here, I've searched and couldn't find it. Couple questions:
1. How long is FSB and what is the pay for it.
2. How does global reserve work, and how many hard days off do you have? I hear people say its horrible... wondering how it works.
3. I'n last bid, how may CA slots went unfilled.
Thanks in advance.

Global reserves have the same 12 or 13 days off as the domestic fleets. The difference with global is that a block of 6 days is dubbed "holy" days off and cant be touched. Your other 6 or 7 days off you can be rolled into. If rolled they will put a new day off somewhere else on your schedule. You will still have the same number of days off, you just won't know when they are. That's the rub with global. Not good for those who need more schedule certainty.
I count 167 unfilled captain positions, between 737 320 and 75/76 (only 1 unfilled here).

It’s all based on your seniority and the placement of the g-line (cut line between those guaranteed a line and reserves). With EWR 777 FO being the outlier, the junior lineholder as WB FO DOH ranges from 4-20 years depending on the domicile. DOH isn’t a perfect measure, just FYI. Reserve itself is not a commitment.
