ExpressJet (ASA) Reserves

[JJDriver]

I may be coming back from an extended LOA. Can someone tell me roughly what seniority the reserves are running out of ATL on the 200. I was on the 700 and can't see the list, or figure out where to find it.

Thanks!

I am very low 800s and missed a line by 10-15. You will have to be 780+ I beleive

 

[JJDriver]

Thanks! Although is that captain? I should have specified FO.

Sorry...that is capt side

All u need to know about reserve at L-ASA:

Always used and abused, treated like scum, and NEVER a life away from "The Prison".

 

[No Delay]

Yup!

Min rest...max duty...min days off

No trips to cover? Stand by at the airport for an hour or ready reserve

So what is the seniority of the last CA to hold a line?

I love how these brand new captains who CHOSE to upgrade, knowing full well what they were getting in to, are already bitching about reserve.

Ummm...not quiet like that. I promise you, when I upgraded, people were holding lines after just a few months on reserve. Now, here I sit some 5 years later!

But it is equally frustrating to hear line holders who spent just a couple of months on reserve (during a time of being properly/over staffed) with their "suck it up" mentality.

Son, you know nothing about this way of life!

Obviously, my statement wasn't directed towards you.

You will not say a GodD#$% word to any of these FO's that have just upgraded after pulling gear for 7+ years. They are allowed to bitch all they want.

Indeed, provided they don't bitch to 7.5 year FOs.

Allowed to bitch about what? Being a captain?

This was the whole point of the ASA Reserve Quality of Life Committee drive.

All regional FOs are or will be on reserve again and the loss of 50 seat aircraft will not be pretty—Fortunately age 65 is here.

This is the committee that yielded exactly nothing in the form of results. I don't blame ALPA, by the way. I directly blame CT, however. After many concerns were laid out regarding reserve use, and ways to lessen the burden on them, CT interrupted the RQOL committee chair and stated that "we aren't negotiating". With that in mind, I do my job, and exactly no more. CT- you get what you get in your steaming pile of an operation.
