what is reserve like?
#41
Reserve compared to holding a line is like two different jobs. When movement is stagnant, guys stuck on reserve bear the brunt continuously until hiring picks up or guys retire or whatever. Line holders may see some decrease in line credit value or quality of trips or whatnot but nothing compared to being stuck on reserve with no end in sight. I don't understand why this wasn't fixed years ago. When movement is stagnant for lets say, six months, then we should go to a system where the bottom 75% of the seniority list has some days of reserve on their schedule. If your senior, then maybe you only have one or two days. If your junior, then maybe seven or eight.
Of course this will NEVER HAPPEN! Understandably, no one is willing to give up anything to help out the junior guys. Don't be sold on the whole "brotherhood" stuff. It isn't there, it doesn't exist.
