Agreed. It is normally feast of famine on reserve. Even some of the WB 767 ER categories are having their reserves used a lot this winter.

DAL88;
DAL has just put a clarification of corporate policy out for early pushes. It should have a reference on the DBMS pop-up window.

I hadn't considered this: an opposite lobbying effort that would complaint that the search is not invasive enough, too dignified/not kinky enough... and why aren't they using the wand anymore?

This could get worse before it gets better.

M88 ATL, would have flown just once last month, but they took a 3-day trip and broke it into two 2-days (DH from DTW for me, and DH to DTW for the next RES guy on day 2). Appeared that they did this at the last minute. It was if they didn't like my RAW score being so low so they were bound and determined to fly me during my two days of availability. That, or they ran out of 3-day SC pilots. I'm sure a line holder would have loved a 2 day WS, though.

And that # is posted as Max reserve on my schedule, right? If I hit that credit before all my reserve days are up, then I'm off the rest of the month?

Yes.....true. Not sure about an inverse assignment, though. I think you'd still have the right to refuse it. But as far as pulling normal reserve, you're done.

When a member of family goes to the Doctor, UHC obligates us to pay so much that options traders spike the stock price and the regulators cease trading.

That mini crash was the result of my wife and I deciding we were not going to take our kid to the Doc that day.

Make sure you call em. Max they can assign on a yellow is ALV +15 If you want the rest of you days off you need to tell them that you have hit alv and you want the rest of the days to be taken off. They are to do this but will occasionally will assign a sc instead.

But if you've already hit ALV you don't have to sit SC, right?
