How many SC's do you need to go into the 2nd bucket? I couldn't remember if it was 2 or 3. Thanks

Because when you've only sat 2 SC's, you're still in the 0-2 bucket. Only once you've gotten your 3rd (and actually started sitting it, because sometimes they can "take it away" and give you something else) are you considered to be in the second bucket.

1)increase in VAC week pay and credit means more pilots needed to fly the same block
2)Increase in training pay and credit means more pilots needed to fly the same block
3) ADG will cause trips to credit more so more pilots will be needed to fly the same amount of block
4)more mandatory summer vacation weeks to be available for bidding requiring more pilots of summer months
5) 88 717's to take over 76 seat jet routes vacated to backfill the 70/50 seat routes
6) staffing formula changes that will require 72 more positions
7)Reserve pilots no longer have to fly to ALV with vac or training
8) another category adds training churn, more pilots needed to fly the same amount of block

More sick time and better disability plans require the company to staff a tad higher, but only marginally. I neglected to mention the "biggies", sorry...

Could you explain number 7 please. I'm going to try to reread section 23 in the TA but that one escapes me. Thanks

(75+30)-(22+45)= 52+45 for "his" reserve guarantee. He would be full when he reached that. Today he can be flown all the way up to 75+30.
