I was told the only enhancement will be to purchases a higher discounted myua ticket then we will only need one flight, otherwise we still need 2 flights. I think we are the only ones that need 2 flights. Also, there will be some hotels provided for early shows.

Having said that, commuters should take notice that in the last update the company has agreed to fewer working days for RSV pilots- which I think is a better angle to attack this issue from, anyway, as it benefits commuters & locals alike. As a commuter, you’ll alway be sacrificing some time that a local guy isn’t, but you’re about to be drawing that sacrifice from a larger bank of guaranteed days off.

The final language here is going to be VERY important. What did we concede for more reserve days off? Lower guarantee? Only X % of reserves can bid for more days off line (think non-profile reserve). I love the idea of more days off on reserve. Being on the hook 18 days a month for 73 hours of pay is a joke and industry lagging, I'm just afraid of what we gave up to get it.
language very important for sure

it’s in the position report. Raise reserve min pay per day. For example Same 73hrs just 2 extra days off so a reserve day would pay 4.5 vs 4 like it does today (actual number 4 hr 32 min per day vs the current 4 hr 3 min a day)

Im guessing it’ll be one more day, I’d love 4.5 a day but then your ending close to what a trip pays so idk if they’d do that. Hope they did tho!

I’ll counter that argument with the people in those high cost coastal bases have more earning potential due to ability to move up to higher paying AC/seats than those in mid continent bases. Not counting the base trades outliers, WBCA as an example is about 2-3000 numbers junior in EWR/SFO. I knew NBCA is currently out of whack and junior everywhere but an ILC should solve that. So IMHO they already are getting their pay offset.

Positive space commuting helps all pilots. Live out of base, helpful. Live in a base but too Jr for that fatty plane in your base, commute to a coast. Any pilot can become a commuter for whatever reason, so it helps all pilots. The more pilots that get to work, the fewer Reserves needed. Besides, UA already uses PS to their benefit, like when they can't predict the weather and a base shiittes the bed.
Later Reserve start time helps all pilots. Lets assume 12 start/12 release last day. Potential for more premium, both reserve and LH, assuming Add Pay is available for Reserve to take assignments before 12 in new deal. Commuters get more time, locals get more access to premium. I think that covers everyone.

This feels like a reach. As a local guy, I’d stay NB in base over commuting to WB even with PS commuting, & I think many would agree with me. I’m just not willing to waste that much time on it. If you want PS that’s fine, but don't pretend it’s an equal benefit for all- it’s definitely for commuters.
I don’t understand the logic of assuming commuters want more time off, but local guys should be content with a chance to work more & pad the paycheck. If the commuters want more time at home, why wouldn’t local guys want the same? More days off covers more people equally- whether you spend them with your family, making extra money, or commuting to & from work. Makes sense to me…
