Well I'm here at Coex on the E145. I haven't flown sence July 26th, almost a month. Funny thing is my PC is in about hour; lets see how that goes. Hopefuly this crisp $100.00 bill will help.

I work at PSA (poorly staffed airline). We have been continuosly short staffed since Sept 11. I've worked almost every day on reserve and been used and abused by the company like a red headed step child. I'm surprised US Airways management hasn't came in and fired the management people responsible for keeping this airline staffed. They should be ashamed at them selves. When you have to cancel flights on a regular bases due to crew shortages, that is unacceptable. Anyway, I'm glad to have a job but the abuse by our crew schedulers is started to get real old, fast.
With our airline if you bid reserve you are asking for it. If they have an open seat that they need to fill they will call you for it. The nice part about reserve is you get called for all the long haul pop-up international trips. Usually you will fly 60 to 80 hours on reserve. Our reserve lines are nice usually they have 8 to 10 days off in a row.
