Rules? We don't need no stikn' RULES!

Or my personal favorite: "Rules are for the interpretation of wise men and the obedience of fools." - Colin Chapman :eek:

From the latest CALALPA blast mail,
NEXT STEPS
The next issue of the “Next Steps” publication, produced by the Joint Implementation Team, is expected to be available early next week. New provisions planned for the July bid period include an increase in the value of vacation credit and UPA items that will be implemented earlier than as indicated in LOA 26. Several items will be of particular interest to L-CAL reserve pilots:
• ‘A’ reserve pilot call out time has increased to 13 hours prior to departure
• Both ‘A’ and ‘B’ reserve release times on the last day of reserve have improved
• ‘A’ reserve schedules are now allowed for up to 50 percent of the awarded reserve lines

Do reserves often get shuffled throughout the system? For instance, would it be reasonable to expect as a EWR or IAH reserve to fly in GUM at some point, or are the bases kept more separated?

On the LCAL side RSV's are treated as rented mules. If you're on the 737 you'll service very base, except Guam. 756 will RSV's cover both IAH and EWR. Disclaimer, technically pilots are not supposed to be system wide RSV, just reserve for their base. In practice, they are system wide RSV's!

The company can convert all Long call reserves to short call whenever they choose to do so. There is also no limit to the number of times they can do this in a month. For bases other than EWR or IAH this happens daily. It basically makes long call rare and destroys quality of life for us commuters.

Thanks for pointing that out. El Grande Bingo!

Can't tell you how many captains told me "Oh, they won't do that" and other similar rejoinders after they asked me why I was voting no. Never mind that the furloughed bubbas were on here telling us how the CAL reserves were treated.

One by one, the chickens are coming home to roost.

Just Vote NO.

I was one of the furloughed bubbas screaming at the TOP OF MY LUNGS! .........and here we are today.

Larry,
Always the perspicacious one. Thanks for your sagacity.

Sonny,
Yours was one of the loudest. Sadly, it mostly fell on dear ears. Thanks for trying.

TMA,
