ASA....RES on REL line

[ASA_Aviator]

If scheduling has something for you when you get back, that's an extension and you get 150% for it. Also, lineholders never call scheduling after their trips are over, if you get my drift...

A buddy of mine didn't call after a RES assignment (he was on a REL line that month), and he was given an Unavailable on Reserve. He had to see a CP, etc. etc.

Be careful.

My first relief line last year had 1 nap and the rest was reserve 19 days. 7 days of reserve isn't that bad.

Don't ya just love advice from someone who doesn't even work at ASA?

The scary thing is I know more about ASA now than I did when I was there.

I got a REL line for september and when my final schedule came out yesterday it has 7 days of RES on it.
This is crap!!!!!!

Just curious how long you've worked here?

7 days on a relief line is nothing new. Maybe, it hasent been that way with the summer schedule, but we are with 6000hrs less of block time for Sep.

If it makes you feel any better: many of the newly upgraded captains at about 4.5 years longevity, spent nearly 2 years on reserve as FOs. Now they're going back on reserve as captains.

PS: if I'm on a REL line with a reserve day, I'm still a line holder, there's no way in hale I'm calling Skeds after my trip. If they'd like to give me an Unavailable On Reserve they can just go right on ahead. Then I'll be as happy as a clam to talk to a chief pilot...at my leisure. If they'd like to try to discipline or fire me, they can also go right ahead. My lawyer will be foaming at the mouth.
