Reserve callout?

[Q200_FO]

Horizon Air:

1.5 hour callout on home reserve. There's 2 periods of home reserve:

0430-1800 - AM home reserve
1030-0000 - PM home reserve

Airport reserve, two 8 hour periods:

0530-1330 - AM airport
1200-2000 - PM airport

All reserve lines have 12 days off in the 35 day bid.

Mesa: 9 days off a month on reserve, you gotta be kidding me?Now thats just ridiculous.

it gets better, a 'day off' is any 24 hour period....
so say they finish a trip and are off duty at...1430
if they have a trip the next day at 1431, they have had a 'day off'

beautiful huh?

I wish I could say that I feel your pain, but really I dont because you make your own life in this industry, you and your team vote yes or no on a contract and somehow Mesa voted in the last one, how I dont know because EVERY Mesa pilot i come in contact with and ask about their contract and if they voted YES or NO, i still havent gotten a yes answer, I must just be running into the 13% of you that voted no, i guess i still gotta find the other 87% that agreed to that dismal contract and more a$$ raping by J.O.

DASH, if you are at one of the W.O.'s i feel your pain, i was at ALG for about a year after 9-11, wasnt too bad then but still have some friends there and its a sad sitch for those guys, good luck

mesa days off must be IN base and are infact from 0001 till 2400 just like every other airline. any 24 hour periods other then that are for rest ONLY.

yeah still wasn't to bad back then, but now is an entirely different story...i'm sure you've heard the majority of the problems

could happen here just like it could happen at many other airlines. in the years i've been here i've never seen that happen.

per the contract "the company will use its best efforts to group days off such that each regular line will have 3 periods of atleast 3 days off each bid period, reserve lines shall have 2 periods of 3 consecutive days off each bid period" thats usually the normal thing for reserve. last month i flew 3 days on reserve and sat at home the rest of the time.
