Yeah, I agree. I still do not like the fact that days off are rollable. But if done right, one can avoid having days rolled. I've only had 2 instances where I had days rolled this entire year..

I was rolled quite a bit. A couple of times in the one day bucket they would give everyone above short call. At least now if it happens I'll get paid extra for it.

I did it for several years and never got rolled once. Always bid 6 day blocks on purpose. Strategery

The pilots who complain about Global Reserve seem to fall into one of three categories:
1) Pilots who do not work here
2) Pilots who are not ON Global Reserve
3) Very junior pilots with an unfavorable commute to short call who bid off the fleet as soon as they can.

what were the details that contributed to that? I would always avoid picking up a SC on day 1 of 6 because that pushes your start time from 0001 to whatever the SC start is. In many cases that could give the company an extra 18-21 hours.

This. I don't work. People think I exaggerate. I do not. I sit Global Reserve, pick up as many short calls as I can, and do not go in. Months go by. Been rolled once, for one day.

My instance happened back on the first day of the October bid period. I had 6 days on ending on Sep 29th. I APU a 3-day London 24-26 evening departure on the 24th. I had 3 days of RSV followed on 27-29 then 30th RDO then back on RSV.
I got rolled into a 4-day GRU from 27-30th. With a morning arrival on the 30th. Luckily it happened the after UPA 23 DOS because I got 5:15 add pay for day off interruption….
