More Flying on RES for June @ASA?

[ASA_Aviator]

Haven't you guys figured out scheduling yet?

If you want to work, put yourself on long-call, call me last. If you don't want to work, put yourself on short-call, call me first.

It's all about screwing the pilot over there, isn't it?

Long calls should be called first, because they are useless once the 12 hr window goes by. Even long call, no preference should be called before a short call or ready reserve. In a perfect world, ready reserves would never be called. As long as people aren't calling in sick within the 12 hour window, no one should get a call that isn't long call.

Many factors

I worked 10 days. Almost 50hrs of credit. Just did a 6 day run of on call with no call. short call no pref.

I'd agree that they use the pilots who come in from an assignment with a day or more available. Once they got you, they got you.

The bucket system is working itself out over time. I kinda like it.

Big difference maker is if your reserve and commute.

I'm not, so home time is awesome.

Bottom line, it's the nature of the biz. This system is much better than the old, and I did a year and a half on that system.

Suck it up and stick it out, before you know it your a line holder making "OK" money.

Everytime you drive to the airport and dont break 75 for the month, your out more money. I see some who got real close, but didnt, yet drove in to the airport many times. That sucks!

Yea if I lived in ATL I would be loving life on regular reserve. As a commuter it sucks!

I swapped from RS09 in May to C09 for June and they already have me up to 29:25 credit for June! Hopefully I will keep it up not end up with like 68-73 hours or something gay like that. Would love to fly 85-90 hrs of credit for June. We shall see.

Well, I'd say the next two months are your best chance, after that dont waist your time till Nov. Dec.

That's not what the contract states. I understand what you're getting at and I've heard the stories from friends. I've caught them going out of order before, too. If you catch them out of order, tell them. They have no choice, based on the contract. A friend of mine was called, didn't want to work, he looked at the Bucket and saw that 5 people were ahead of him. He told them to have a nice day.

Me, I want to fly. I use a CMF every month and I've been over guarantee every month so far. I've called them on trips that they gave to someone below me on the list because I wanted to work. They'll change it without an issue. Just remember that they "reserve the right" to bypass you if you're close to 75 hours at the end of the month.

It should be LCF, LCR, SCF, and SCR with only trips that fit your available days. It doesn't always happen that way.

I was just trying to be a smartass. I didn't have much to work with, so I went with what I had. :0

 

[Long Time Gone]

I know. No worries. My explanation was just in case someone took you seriously, that's all.

Like I said, I knew what you were getting at.

Ha, someone taking Stifler seriously? Are you serious?

 

[Long Time Gone]

Good point.

I hereby publicly admit that I was wrong.

Don't you have something better to do, like putting baseball cards in your bicycle spokes?

Nah, it's too hot to ride bikes, I've been frying ants with a magnifying glass and playing with matches today.

On a completely unrelated subject, does anybody know how long does it take for eyebrows to grow back?
