If they show adequate coverage the days are not capped. You need to call crew scheds and ask them. If they don't give you a answer that makes sense call Dalpa and ask for contract admin. There are ex schedulers there with full access to the company computer who can tell you what is going on.
Thanks for the quick response, Sailing. I appreciate it.

The answer I got was, "Well, one of the days you were looking to trade out of was close (within 2) so maybe somebody called in well or something after the PCS run to bring the reserves available number up." I pretty much know that's BS because I checked the reserve levels before the 7 am run and the noon run and they were good. I'll give it through the midnight run and then call ALPA. I really appreciated the scheduler's solid argument though... "Hey man, no way that computer was wrong." Every time I tried to tell the guy what the reserve levels were before and after the run, I got, "No way the computer was wrong." Will see what midnight brings...

May I suggest, Screen Capture. Works well, and allows you to store the proof.

I tried to trade some reserve days to get denied by capped reserve days. The coverages according to pilot reserve levels are double what is required. What does capped reserve days mean? I thought it meant the coverages were low, but that is obviously not the case.

Trying to catch a dci flight out of MSP, however there is a power outage in the A, B, and C terminals where all the dci flights leave. A day in MSP with no crj's? Maybe they are right... The world must be ending

No RJ's? Does this mean we have to give up the huge pay raises and added mainline flying they generated all this time?

That's worth one partial payback day in your bank at straight pay. I said:

All the company emphasis on getting on-time departures is misplaced. Customers would rather their flight left the gate 3 to 5 mins late than the consistently rude attitude they get from ATL gate agents as well as having their bags lost. I'm always hearing about these two issues from friends who fly. Not that they pushed back 5 mins late.
