Newbie question. How do the Reserve day Coverage awards work? I'm on the ATL 717 and basically everyone of the bottom 50 guys got the last 3 weekends of Sep pre-awarded. I understand the concept, but 50 guys on reserve those days seems excessive when the typical required number is around 15. Granted a few of those guys are shadow bids but not many.
Edit: SEP is posted. The reserve distribution is fairly even. They do have a small surplus every day so make sure your request to move x days is in the computer for the first round of swaps. The most they have on any one day is 19 and the average is probably about 15.

Moak caused harm.

But the RV would be really nice. Gotta stay classy.
We would take the wheels off and set it on cinder blocks.
Wanna be my running mate?

FYI... I emailed my reps with input that I think Lee Moak should be recalled. I've had numerous exchanges with them in the past few hours and NONE of them see anything wrong with what he said. Houston we have a problem. Maybe these reps need to be recalled too!

The ALV was set high thus fewer lines and therefore too many people on reserve.
The good news is you should be able to trade out of those weekends on the first PCS run on the 20th.

1) Scheduling calls you at 0000 or some time afterward to notify you of said trip and you then have 12hrs to show (long call window)
2) Scheduling removes the trip since no "self notification" and your still sitting 12hr long call
3) Scheduling calls you and notifies you @ 0000 or sometime afterwards and you are on the hook for trip that duty's in @1000 b/c you just got your 10hrs of uninterrupted rest
If option three is correct how does this affect your duty day? You went on long call at 0000 so you are no longer considered @ rest, but they put you on 10hr rest after the notification. Either way I would think it affects your duty period for that day?
Thanks for clarifying....I just got reserve for Sept. and haven't been on reserve in 6.5yrs!!
