You pick up a trip while on reserve to have SOME predictability in your life. Once you pick up a trip, you can then turn off your phone, get some rest, and not have to worry if you'll get a 5am field standby.

Am I writing to fast for you?
You also know that there are reserves that are LCAs? Did you know that? So LCAs should pick up overtime as well.
Did you also know that TK has reserves as well? And eventually they run out. But people in TK should keep picking up overtime as well, because the contract says to do that.
Hey, we should all pick up everything right now. Just because DL/AK/HA/AA/JB/NK will make what guys at United will only make on a premium trip, that's no reason not to pick it up... Oh yeah, they think they will get the pay raise on top of the premium... now that's thinking!

Aggressive pickup for reserves is totally different than a lineholder picking up open time or premium trips.

You realize that reserves are an insurance policy for lineholders that call in sick or miss trips, etc.
That insurance policy in not infinite and runs out when they run out of reserves, and that's how premium pay is born...
You know what happens when those go unfilled? 75%, 100%, 250%(ALPA LOA in JAN 22, I think that's what it hit) premium pay. If those don't get filled, they cancel the flight and now we're talking real money $$$. Don't do that guys. That will hurt United in the $$$.
Do you people not understand how the birds and the bees of airline scheduling works?
Wow...maybe I'm misinterpreting here. Certainly you are being sarcastic and I missed the emoji?
I'll go back to lurking...I can't handle this anymore.

You're an uninformed noob, you realize that sometimes the company runs out of reserves... hrmm. Did you know that there are a limited number of reserves?

Your screen name is zoomie. That would normally correspond to the Rocky Mountain institute of wayward persons. In this case though, based on the high level of retardation in your response, I am questioning whether you completed high school.
Did I write too fast for you…?
