I've got one.

On short notice we have days where all standby pass travel is in inverse DOH order, so the only people left behind are the really senior ones. We disallow vacation passes on these days as well so nobody can abrogate the "inverse seniority day" of pass travel.

What is there to improve? You have 12 hour call out and 4 hour call out. When I got hired we were on duty 7 days in a row 24 hours with a 3 hour call out!!! Jesus you guys are spoiled !!! I'm not giving up 16% so you can sit in your ass at home in reserve and get a 24 hour call out. Wake up!

I get one vote, as does everyone else. We add them up in the end, and the majority rules.

And no matter what we have, a few percent will complain. And those few percent will be vocal on these forums, 9 out of ten times. The 9 out of 10 that are satisfied, don't come here and voice their opinion.

It seems about 50/50 between yes and no. From what I have seen in the past, I think it will be an overwhelming majority that passes this TA if it comes to a vote. Maybe >75%.

here, I like your post. I think you are spot on with this one

Obviously you are CLUELESS as to the current reserve rules. Pipe down till you smarten up and actually read them.

I know they are a lot better than sitting reserve 24/7 with 3 hour call out! Which I did as a new hire 25 years ago. So again, why don't you get a clue and see how good you have it and quit whining

hey fat daddy
no one needs to know the "current" reserve rules.
you junior fat daddys need to sit reserve six days straight, 24/7, and be able to show up in ops within three hrs of your call - ready to head out on the ten day Bangkok Strangler on your last day of reserve.
and the cash the company saves by screwing you over can be paid to us senior captains
see. we understand. get your pager and get your pad near your domicile.
and stop your whining.

Delta guy here. Trying to get an understanding of UAL reserve. Can someone give the Cliff Notes on Long Call/Short Call? How many SCs per month allowed? Paid more for SC? Reserve Guarantee?

Thanks.
