I don't know how valuable the DOH of the junior pilots on any LCAL equipment is ... they are on reserve. And with LCAL's current contract, reserve at LCAL sounds like complete abuse of pilots from what I've read. Worse than most regional carriers.

It is what you make of it, to a degree.

What is CAL's policy on reserve in this situation....you are going into 4 days off and get home on the first day..can they reassign you on day 2 for a trip or once you are gone you are on your days off...I keep hearing of them being able to move days off around.

We all know that you have two choices as to how you 'spend' your seniority. Either senior on an airframe that pays less money or junior (ask reserve) on an airframe that pays more money.
Reserve goes junior to lineholders because it's not as desirable. LCAL's contract moves the gap between reserve and lineholder to a completely different level.
Simply put, other than the junior entry position, 737 FO, comparing a junior LCAL pilot with a junior pilot at other airlines is apples to oranges.

Huge difference in reserve quality of life between 73, 757 and 777. 737 is horrific not so much on the 757 and the 777 folks never fly. It's the lack of staffing and difference in how CAL covers the entire 737 system with reserves not necessarily a base specific.
