Withthatsaid182,
Your experience on RSV was quite abnormal due to overstaffing (and is why you ended up furloughed). I think we are pretty much back to normal now - which is slightly understaffed with all reserves flying a lot each month, and with plently of extensions resulting in 5 and 6 day trips, in most statuses.

It's the same 1997 contract plus four no strike/no lockout, 5 item arbitration choice amendment rounds. The best part of it was a minimum pay raise which prevented us from taking a pay cut. If the rest of the industry hadn't sunk so far down, we'd be at the bottom instead of floating around the middle.
What's really funny is how many of our post-1997 hire pilots think it's not such a bad contract. They are going to get an education when we have our first Section Six contract negotiations in 2013. Unfortunately, unless they plan on going back to their floor manager job at JCPenney, most of them will still be here.

What about the ability to decline reassignments in certain circumstances under the JIC, joint Implementation Committee.... did that go away too?

Life @ Eagle isn't bad as an FO on the CRJ in DFW. I live in base. Fly no more than 55 hours a month (more commonly 30-40 hours). Only away from home 3-5 nights a month.
I've never gone over guarantee while on reserve since I've been here (10/07 hire). Most ever was 55 hours back in Spring 08.
For the record I am far from senior on RSV...very...very far.
Now those on the ERJ....phew...they get worked much harder.
