Talk about being Delta's reserve airline. I got called in just as the World Series was starting to do a flight that Pinnacle had to cancel. This flight was canceled at 3 in the afternoon. After Delta finaly realized we could do it, it was 1030 byt the time we got out last night. Went down to Tampa and back. Got in about 3am. Guess Delta is never going to realize you get what you pay for.

No, you really can't refuse a trip on reserve. I hate it when they put a 4 day trip (straight out of the bid packet) on my line 2 weeks out! That's not reserve!! Crediting over 75+ hours is not reserve! Built more lines!

As far as not going over guarantee, I guess it depends where you sit on reserve list, but there are a few things that I can do. It begins with not bidding to fly, certain reserve windows, when going over guarantee, calling in sick, fatigued, or personal leave will put an end to it. If you are going over guarantee, getting JM, not getting PL days, that's telling me the airline is not properly staffed. I shouldn't be flying this much on reserve. Built me a damn line then. The guys that are not going to get furloughed are going to suffer, too. Yes, we still have a job, but we will get used and abused, and our QOL will go down the crapper (not that it is any better now). Unless you have been here over a decade, you will suffer starting next month. Even lineholders, because once you are displaced, scheduling will own your a$$. I'd actually rather be furloughed (would have taken voluntary furlough) than thinking about the crap life I'm going to have soon. Should be a fun holiday season... Merry Xmas!

That's good. Sunday night, some tool captain waltzed into ops while I was serving my 6 hour 50 seat sentence. He proceeded to openly tell a buddy that he just got done flying this 'great' trip he pulled out of open time. Paid like 300 dollars. As he looked over at me sitting at the next table, I shot him a really unwelcome dirty look. I think he got my drift.

It's guys like this that pick up open time, bid HI lines, do favors, etc... that cause problems. Why should Comair or any other airline recall when their pilots are pulling more than their share of the weight?! This kind of stuff just kills me...

It happens all the time when we need extra coverage. I'd guess it was do to the weather today in the Northeast (don't ask me, I wasn't actually on a desk today).

Umm, have you been to JFK, LGA, EWR, or PHL today? FWIW, the board in JFK ops is glowing with Freedom cancellations as well!
