Other than trips that are currently open the first several days in January in ATL, there is virtually nothing available. After well over 27 years of service I certainly didn't expect to be on reserve even one month. Especially on a narrow body.

We should be pushing for higher trip rigs. If they want us to cool our heels in a hotel because of 117, fine. Pay me. 14 days off should equate to 85 hours a month, not 72. I think with the leverage we have now, we should apply pressure to increase the pay per duty period, not **** it away on some commuter friendly reserve scheme.

Nope. 4 day followed by 2 off then 4 day with one off then five day. 3 day rotations with 30 hour sits have strung together for 9 straight days so many times I can't remember.
The last time I was on reserve on this equipment was when I first checked out on it in 2002

System wide- 690-vacation days were given back. 89 pilots participated.
In ATL, 10 pilots participated
This is why we will never recapture anything meaningful as a pilot group. Look how easy it is for the company to get pilots to sell their negotiated vacation for short term bucks. Sad.

Second, If they had no plans, why not make a few extra $ and pay off/ down some bills.
Now, did I personally sell any back, no. Was I offered, no. Smart for others to? Who knows, not in their shoes and none of my business.
The point is it's my vacation and I will do what I want with it, and I dont want or need anyone telling me what I can or cant do.

If you voted for Contract 2012 and now have buyers remorse...

Although I wish we did not have vacation sell back, if you are going to go after a pilot for exercising contractual rights to make extra cash, you better be pure of heart. The same case could be made for any pilot that flies over 75 hours, picks up a green slip, flies over what the pick up would be in a non vacation month etc... Any of those help the company in the same way.

Thanks for the reminder Dalad. I did that late last night after I got home from Christmas shopping and the trip was gone this morning, leaving me with a 57hr. month!

Too lazy to look, but I believe the very first one (the one on the 20th) starts later in the day, and then from that point on they start at 0700. Might be remembering that wrong.
