I've flown 4 days this year total of about 12 block.

If you live in base and your priority isn't hours or money why would you bid a line over reserve? A extra 10 hours credit and a day off just to hold a 4 day every week low credit schedule?

Only a rumor at this point but the source of the rumor, MM, is pretty reliable. If it's anything like the last crap it will be money in exchange for you being extended beyond footprint against you will. He11 for commuters.

I learned in physics back in high school for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Sheeshh! When will "WHEELS BE FLYIN OFF AT SKYWEST" thread be up? Last summer was alright for me, other than.. May or June? Whatever month they experimented with min credit lines for everyone because they took 99% of the standups out. And imagine that the same people at the same time of year are back together holding pitchforks and prophesying about the end of the world, AGAIN. GIVE IT A REST BOYS AND GIRLS. Those on longterm reserve are 175 and just on vacation, like you guys have it rough. Crj there is no reserve. So I would say at the moment reserve in general isn't bad. And for the reflow, if it was the one they tossed around last year with a few tweeks I'm on board. It will cost entirely too much money to "send us all on eternal reserve". Y'all go back to your $hit $ipping caves and find something that is an actual necessary fix. Like no actual cool aid machines in any of the bases.. ANYWHERE. THIS FORUM MISLED ME I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

Western, anything outside the trip footprint was extra money(3hours) and optional.

Westernflight

I remember the extra money part, but I don't remember it being optional. I could be 1000% wrong on that however. Otherwise, would there really be any change? They can/do reflow people right now although it's fairly minimal. Maybe the big deal is going to be EFB notification.

MoovenUP

Yes sir, it was optional if outside the trip footprint. Not optional within the trip footprint but had hours attached to reflow. PER DAY. So if you were reflowed (also pay protected) from a 20 hour 4 day onto a 10 hour 4 day excursion within your original pairing footprint, you would get 1 hour per day for the reflow plus pay protected. So instead of working for 20 you would get 24 for working 10. And there was an extra two hours per day if outside your daily footprint, also not optional. But a reflow outside of trip footprint was optional with additional 3 hours.

Westernflight

Gotcha, so I was confusing daily with trip footprint in terms of it being optional. Thanks for the clarification. Never thought this was a horrible policy, but think it should be something the pilot group votes on, instead of trusting our "electorate" to decide for us behind closed doors on houseboats. Ensuring correct verbiage and exact wording to protect the intent of policies hasn't been one of SAPAs strengths in the recent past. How about a little transparency?

You can be sure that this reflow policy will include EFB notification.
They're getting ready to turn on the LTE, the focus will be on how cool it is that there is no paperwork.
What they won't tell you is how when you scan the QR code you automatically accept the reflow outside your footprint. Forget your kid's ballet recital, you're heading to YVR.
Don't call in or you'll get an email telling you how unreliable you are and asking for proof your wife died.

Still at least SAPA has our backs............

Love how people take rumors as fact and go on a rant without knowing the facts but inevitably mislead people because they are so convinced they are right
