Are reserve guys breaking guarantee?

Not last month. A couple of LC's did but none of the Short calls did. Transition is always tough...if it's still like this by the 4th then they are in real trouble the rest of the month. But usually the staffing crisis tapers off by the 4th or 5th.

We'll see.

I did. December short call 88hrs left seat.

My lowest month since June has been 82 hours. I have been around 85+ hours per month. I am just a long call reserve scum.

 

[Mookie]

Long call is self inflicted tho...

sounds like reserve is no like the old days where you knew which bank of flights you were on the hook for and when they were gone, you were done.

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

Is life on reserve better than it was on the old contract, or worse?

 

[RNP.15]

About the same with one more day off.

I just ralized what you meant... I agree to a point, however we gave up 4 hour call outs twice a week for all reserves for the right to have 3-4 guys/base fly 80 hour months with 11 hour call outs...and then be told that they chose to be abused.

Water under the bridge now, but why did we agree to gut our reserve section of the contract when all most of us wanted was for it to be fixed?

Because we're reserves, silly rabbit...we don't really "count." Sad but true.

So is that the "BIG" announcement?

I thought they announced that a couple of years ago? Same time as the LAX move. No more D concourse.
