I’ve done global reserve in both the right and left seats over the last 10 years… they don’t roll the days off as much as many will claim on these forums… maybe a day/two per month max is what I’ve experienced. I do live in base and kids are grown… so if you need hard/immovable days off each week then maybe WB reserve isn’t for you… so bid wisely. Who knows what new rules will be… I’m hearing they’ll still be able to roll days off but might have a pay penalty or cap… still not resolved.

How is 756 handled at ORD? I have a friend who would like to end up there eventually and if there is a 756 slot available in their class wondering
a) how long until ORD for NH on 756
b) what reserve rules they would have once to ORD
Thanks for good description of Global Reserve as it stands at United.

ORD 756 is a global fleet and as such is subject to global reserve rules. Can get 756 pretty fast, but I’d avoid it in ORD. There’s something like 114 FOs on it, and the only movement comes from people leaving it, so it will be very slow going on that fleet base combo

Yup, think it’s mostly international too.
some 756 bases aren’t global like LAX and I believe SFO
. If one pairing in package is international beyond Canada and Mexico I believe it’s a global fleet. I think 737 CLE is global for azures ha

Correct, but your exposure to getting rolled on RDO’s is only for that one global trip.

they roll far more often nowadays since there are a few 6 day trips (at least on the 787) out there and most peoples reserve blocks are 5 or less unless it’s beginning /month end overlap
