That’s only true if the can’t just reassign us more. And based on the latest update, our reassignment rule improvements don’t explicitly do that. So it’s just robbing Peter to pay Paul. It’s short-sighted, in my opinion, to improve reserve to the extent that it degrades lineholder schedules, where people will spend the vast majority of their career.

why do you want a 90 hour line when you’re in your 60s?
our reserve is so bad that it seems like most older UAL can’t even imagine things being better and how it would trickle up.

ill say this again, as a partial response to your point…if reserve was good, you could just spend the vast majority of your career on reserve, barely working, yet still getting paid.

Based on the last update, the NC isn’t addressing it with their proposed and agreed to reassignment rule changes. You can’t spend most of your career on reserve if it only apply to 20% of the positions and people who could bid “senior” reserve wouldn’t be the ones flying 90-hr lines. 90-hr lines are for those junior in a cat when LPAs are high.

OK. Perhaps a bit harsh. My apologies. But I do tire of the whine. At least a jet engine stops whining at the gate. Cheese and Rice. After sitting about 6 years on rsv AND 15 years in the right seat, it's just hard to listen to, and still a loooong ways to go to 65.
