GO AROUND said:I wouldn't wish reserve on anyone at ASA. Reserve at any other regional is better than ASA. Secheduling at any other regional is better than ASA's.
Sorry but a few MEC's singing Kum By Yah doesn't cut it. ASA and Comair's MEC had been singing together for years, but Comair's MEC still could not resist the first chance they had for a little predatory bargaining. It takes strong National leadership (which ALPA lacks) and a refusal to sign a couple of concessionary agreements for the word to get out.BluDevAv8r said:Well gee...then why on earth did the small jet MEC's get together in Herndon a few weeks ago to discuss how NOT to underbid each other? It wasn't for the good company that's for sure...maybe it was because our MEC's actually want to stop this race to the bottom and bidding on one another's jobs based on pilot pay alone?

Holy Crap!BluDevAv8r said:You'd be surprised what DW has said in public and in private about this very issue. He knows what is going on and does in fact acknowledge the problems at hand and is very interested in helping us fix them.
We must fight our issues with the knowledge we are vendors and not airlines as that is the only way to make progress in this battle. -Neal
ohplease! said:I agree! 100%.
Give me a $2/hr. raise (+ profit sharing) and the better scheduling and work rules, show ALPA the door and let me keep my 2%.
I'm happy now. That would make me REALLY happy.

3:45 daily guarantee
They could not trade your days. Every day off was a GDO.
Ready reserve deducted 4:45 from guarantee and added it back above guarantee. That was a moneymaker.
When you completed an assignment, you were either released to rest, reassigned, or given a maximum three hour callback. No other options.
14 hour duty day. Up to to 15 for weather or mechanicals.
Fly me first or fly me last system.
Bucket system that was visible on a free up-to-the-minute website. No bribing schedulers with pizzas and no paying $7/month for something that isn't even real time. You could look in open time and look at the buckets and see what you should get. If they assigned something out of order, you could grieve it.
At Air Whisky, I think that they even have a long call reserve system for at least part of the month.
ASA's reserve system is closer to the one that our FAs had.
