Lol. We used to go YEARS between vacancy bids, but I definitely prefer the more frequent ones!

My friend that flies the 756 says things haven't changed a lot for him, but when there is an issue it usually results in a lot of extra pay.

Serious Answer......Well you sort of answered your own question...but I would add that the fact it is in open time is a probably a pretty good indicator of the crappiness of the trip, furthermore.... since the likelihood of you braking guarantee is incredibly slim....a real productive trip.....as a reserve just means the only entity being productive .......is the company off of your free labor.

Also if you live in base and you would rather be at home......you have the "chance" of not going to work.

Lastly the chess playing part of it is.........it blocks you for the next calendar day as well. Kind of like staying ahead of the airplane you know.

im VEC reserve. I worked 6 days in September and credited 102 hours. I think my QOL under this contract is pretty good.

The Toddlers are still trying to hang on it seems.

This contract is orders of magnitude better than that POS you idiots shat out, that was voted down by NINETY FOUR PERCENT.

Take the L, or keep being a tool, over to you.

My QOL under the new contract has been exponentially better. Really enjoying the new rules, so not sure what you’re getting at.

I ve found so far that the first two months have been very predictable to what the Scheduling committee forecasted in thier UGAPUMA.....or whatever it was called that they published in July. Worth referencing if one is contemplating any of the new special reserve types.

Again they recommend some types for people who live in base and others (LC) for those that commute.
