AMR - Reserve system

It's never simple is it?

Tell you what, if I can't bid for my RAP, I am going to be one fatigued son of a beeotch if they jerk me around.

I live under the traffic pattern to facilitate this type of RSV stuff. I ain't hearing much I like.

We got several guys here, US Airways East, that push our show time rules (live 90 minutes normal driving time to airport). The hard number seems to be 2:15 or 2:30.

I think 4 hours is reasonable especially considering long call is now gone per the mou.

I'm going to dearly miss R reserve.

I don't personally, but I don't remember noticing that fact during any presentations. That is a very substantial concession for many other people.

when does all this go into affect? I know it's not the day of the por.

No specific time frame. They will be initiated as feasible.

Don't forget that it's only 50% for the DH, so his pay is at 76.75 after the trip to PHL. But this remains about the only way for short reserves to break guarantee. I don't think this exists at AMR. Also, since long/short is handed out by scheduling the night before a reserve stretch, they can't do the 'Quick R' trick that some of the R's do to break guarantee.

I thought unscheduled deadheads are 100%. (i.e. DH not in original pairings are unscheduled)

You're right. Thanks for that.

Long call does exist, but they tend to assign it only to Domestic reserves. Back when I was on reserve in 2005-2007, they were pretty good about giving me long call on my last day of a block of reserve days.

Everything else is pretty much spot on. AA reserve is worse than some regionals.

Can we stick with the US air reserve system that lets me grow a sweet neck beard.
