I’ve had the even more unfortunate experience of being a victim in a hotel van crash.

People will start *****ing from other bases as they already have on here about the early NYC reports and the pickup tines.

With all report times 1000 or later guess what happens with reserve utilization? If you are on reserve you will now be available to cover ANY open rotation on the very first day of your reserve block.
Previously, with lots of early starts, you were off the hook for many trips because of the morning start, the trip wouldn’t fit in your block of days. Additionally, other reserves could get them as green slips instead if they wanted.
Net result will probably be more people filling up of reserve (fewer unused reserve days) and fewer people either rolling thunder or enjoying long call at home because company couldn’t assign that early start. More work, same pay.
There’s also no one or two day trips. Call it b!t€hing if you want, but for those who want 1-2 days this sucks. Seems like the pendulum swung too far in a different direction. Why is a mix of both styles of rotations too much to ask?

If your have a late show/early release it means you have a PM to AM swap so you either have a short overnight of one day is very unproductive. So there is 2 things to complain about
