you can usually pull this off by picking up out of base same day as the trip departure when they will have to use a short call and you just had 30 hours free from duty.

good info 82...i tried and tried to do this while on rsv in lax and live 20 min from iah...i would call and they would tell me no and i would dial right back and see if the next one would tell me yes...glad to see that it is an option if it all aligns correctly.

Reserves CANNOT pickup out of base

Lineholders CAN at the pre mentioned 1300 Local Base Time

- just for clarification

Another contract change needed!

Why change that? If reserves pick up out of base there will be no PP trips. Management would love to have reserves be system reserves. And not have to pay pilots PP.

Because every other airline has this ability and even regionals. Going forward, do you really expect PP to be like it was this summer? I highly doubt it.

Delta does not have this ability.

I 100% expect PP to be there next summer.

The top 10% are used to making $500,000 to $750,000

United simply is not smart enough not to have PP every single day in the summer.
