If true, you are more efficient than me. I am a lineholder. I was looking at 16 days of work for 87 hours. I did get rerouted into a day off with means I will have worked 17 days this month out of 30 
through no fault of my own. I did not pick anything extra up. My point is the reserves are not the only ones feeling it this summer. All of our contractual changes are being taken advantage of to use less pilots. We know this.

We know this.I think I'm the odd ball this month with a 75 hour line but that's because I bid min credit and tear down and rebuild from there. of course I bid min credit else start next for July and got the else start next since out of 400+ lines only 30 were allowed min credit.
but by some calculus were supposedly over staffed on the 88. actually I've heard there is a fear that we will cancel flights for a lack of crews but then I've heard they're okay with the current level of GS/WS as they see it as cheaper than hiring. and unless they're unable to staff on a clear day they'll blame canceled trips on irops.
I'm just eating the popcorn.

FTB, I'm not on the Reserves Available list for the rest of the month. I technically sat one short call, but I had a trip assigned the night before by 7 PM. They assigned short call at other times, but switched it to a trip because it was outside 12 hours. So really I don't do short call in the summer months, just fly til I'm full.

So with no SCs you could have been at 75 hours and zero SCs you'd be número uno for SC and go right back out on a trip while a few others sat at 20-30 hours. But I think they mentioned a fix was coming. But that was one of the dumb aspects of the new bucket system.

The company came forward and voluntarily told DALPA that they wouldn't meet the min weekly departures. They didn't make us sniff it out on our own. Personally, I think that's a "work together" attitude in full effect. A Doug Steenland, Gleen Tilton, or Jeff Smisek would've simply not said anything. And hope that it'd slip by. Now DALPA is giving management a chance to correct it outside of a grievance. They have set a deadline.
So to this point, I am more then satisfied with what has occured.
