US Airways Reserve

[LearLove]

Where did you read that the 190 would pay group 2 pay??

No - What I ment is that the new 190 rates in the MOU are about what G2 pays now (not with the MOU or prior to the MOU).

Careful on what guys are saying now on what they are flying on rsv. Staffing seems to be a little "fat" right now. A few years ago, rsv's were flying a crap load. (not timing out, but being used every day for piddly crap) Might have been lucky to get an extra 1 or 2 days off a month in addition to normal scheduled days. From looking at the rsv screens, it seems it's staffed closer to what rsv life should be like, but some mid lvl manager will get a hair up his ass and decide staffing should change again or something....

I'm starting to think the slow times for reserves may be drawing to a close as the weather gets nicer. I've been transitioned from Long to Short twice in the past month, that hasn't happened since September. Looking at the list it looks like the Shorts are going from flying about 10 hours per month to something like 40-50 last month. Last summer was crazy for a short reserve, I'm sure it will be the same this year. This is all for CLT baby bus lines.

I'm long call (R) in Philly on the little Bus and broke
guarantee in March. Seems long calls are flying 50
plus hours and short calls 25 plus. We also had many
pilots in initial training that weren't out on the line yet.

That was my March in DCA as well.

The cycle is always the same, regardless of the airline. They coast through the winter and spool up heavy for the summer to make their money.

When are the "Sand People" as you called them going to start displacing the third listers and current Easties from their spots that weren't earned due to the Nic award? It's just a matter of time, and it is justified. It's called a "binding" award for a reason Lear. Your prognosticating has plenty of gaps in there, be careful to include outcomes that are most likely, and not the fantasy USAPA version.

Please ignore the poser. He never has anything constructive to add so there is no need to respond.

This is a good thread and we should keep it that way. Don't swallow the bait!

Bye Bye---General Lee

Probably not until after today's round of US Airways new hires upgrade on the e190.

No worries, I just couldn't resist...

March was crazy. Broke guarantee by ~ 10 hours. System Scheduling went mad!
