I really hope this Sprit group brings a whole new mentality to negotiations. We have the most convoluted, insanely stupid reserve system i could imagine. The ability to swap or drop anything is virtually non existent. And this is when things have been smooth and fairly well staffed. I hope we get a fresh new perspective in some of these areas.

15-20% of the pilot group is on RSV at any given time and most of those are junior/short timers while they wait to hold a line. Reserve pilots are expendable in the eyes of the union. Change my mind.

Well, Dan and Tommy negotiated Reserve last time around. What could go wrong with having them do it again?!

I live in base so my perception is different then those who don't. I bid long call and the rules are pretty straightforward for LCR. SCR is a whole different animal and the rules do need a lot of improvement on CBA 2.0. I would love to see us be able to pick up above guarantee on days off but the line holders will never vote for it.

Stick a domicile (24hr) and a time (half hr) protection on res pickups and lineholders shouldn’t care. After that you’ll need language that allows pickups going into or coming out of res duty periods.

Almost forgot to mention. I’m not sure if you have a premium add folder for pickups as well but if you do and go for res ability to pickup you’ll want some protections on that as well.
