Troll is a bit harsh for Teabag Bandit. I guess it is technically trolling, but he/she is the lovable type of troll that comes by to mock the common management tactic of, hang on…big news is coming!

Right after you are off OE they release you to crew scheduling, they usually let you build out your month by taking stuff from open time. Luckily I had a lot of HNL flights in open time to take so that was a lot of pay.
All in all, I was used quite a bit. My first two months on the line, I broke guarantee. I was on AM reserve, those are the ones who get used the most. After that, I was switched to PM reserve which is used less.
I spent 4 months on reserve (2 am reserve, 2 pm reserve) before I was awarded a vacation relief line.
It was good for me, but YMMV!

Its difficult to say, it’s very dependent on the month. Some months I was not used on reserve, but when I was used it was generally a 3 or 4 day trip. If you have a 5 day reserve bucket, they’ll find something for you to do on the last couple days, but they usually stay away from burning you on the first couple days. There have been a total of 4 weeks during my time on reserve that I was not called at all.

Company is trying to go directly to pilots to negotiate now, thinking we need to convince the union to take their deal. Unbelievable. The union is us, and the “deal” the company is trying to pass off is sub-standard and hugely lacking. Start your trip wherever is convenient for them and call it work from home? Hard no. They’re trying to turn everyone into a commuter who is responsible to get themselves to work on their own time and own dime. Rig and min day pushed off to some future date that they implement PBS? Hard no. If they don’t close this deal by end of November then they won’t be able to plan for next year? Really? So if we don’t sign until mid December they are going to cancel our 2022 schedule and not do what we said we would do in our quarterly guidance? GMAFB. I feel like we’re dealing with poorly skilled used car salesmen. Act now or I’ll take it away and we’ll just shrink the airline and draw out negotiations. If we keep bleeding pilots like this and start drawing down, investors will be calling for a new management team.
