Bubs.
Most of this thing is cost neutral for the company. It's 3 steps forward 2 steps back. Your pay isn't going to go up that much. Granted, the reserve is slightly better than what we have now, you still have no idea what you will be doing until the day prior and it lags in commutability. It's basically what we have now with some tweaks.
For a small pay bump we give up say in ALL future aircraft orders?
Scope? Oh right we will claw back the code shares when the company is shrinking. That should go well.
I mean even a casual look at this thing is full of weak language and company give backs.

This isn’t a gem, but it’s polished quartz and right now we’ve got sand in our pockets.

Everything the company has ever done has been cost neutral. The 2013 PEA. The 2018 pay raise and profit sharing metamorphosis. All cost neutral. I just don’t see where we will see gains in more negotiations that outweigh the losses of not having a deal now. It’s more cost neutrality.

From what I understand most places have LCR as the "default". Then you can be transitioned to SCR a certain number of days with a pay override when they do it. This is what makes reserve commute able elsewhere. No more then 6 days in your crash pad and plenty of heads up when you have transitioned. Because there is an override for SCL most people who live in base will volunteer, thus giving relief to the commuters. What we got is Pea +1.

Let’s not parrot the company’s excuses. I don’t believe for a second that software could possibly take that long. I’m confident I could give our TA to my buddy in IT and he’d be able to build a program in a few months max.

Yes, United pilots are on long call, but they can be converted to short call every single day they're on reserve. After so many conversions, I think 6, they get an extra hour above guarantee for each conversion. So possibly an extra 12 hours.
United also has airport reserve.

Yeah, I'm gonna poll the other forums since the contract comparison guide has gone full "sales pitch" with very little details where we lag.

I was Involuntarily assigned 10 SCs in January so my pay was 83hrs. Flew 0.0 hours that month.
By the way nearly 100% of United pilots on reserve think our reserve rules are god awful and are fighting for a complete overhaul.
