This is a disgrace and should be forwarded to every ALPA office and ask them if this is an acceptable way of mitigating staffing issues.

If you could afford to requal yourself out of your own pocket you too can have as much time off as you please.

ALPA is a sellout club. To allow reserves to pick up opentime on days off is a slippery slope and unsafe considering the ways our reserves fly. Un figgen real. Time to throw these animals out. Turning us into bus drivers.[/QUOTE]



Bus drivers have better Unions!

As long as it's on one of your 11 days off a month or your vacation. Thanks ALPA!uke:

Once again reserves are treated as second-class pilots. If a "Reserve Pilot" picks up a 200% open time trip on his off day, he gets paid straight time. (It is on top of guarantee, but you're probably breaking guarantee anyway, so this doesn't help. This isn't much incentive for a reserve to give up one of his few off days). But if a "Regular Pilot" picks up the same trip on his off day, he gets 200% pay.

Why do we have different classifications of "Reserve Pilot" and "Regular Pilot"? Why not just "Pilot", who is scheduled to fly either a known-in-advance schedule, or a last-minute-reserve schedule, but with the same contractual protections and benefits? I'm surprised they haven't come up with a formal "B-scale" pay rate for reserves while they're at it!

So let me get this straight.....You guys are pissed because ALPA negotiated for reserves to be able to VOLUNTARILY pick up open time on their days off to make extra money? I don't see where ALPA negotiated language to FORCE anyone to do anything.

Sounds like a case of just something else to whine about.

Gets old doesn't it.
