4. FSB should be paid. Period. I agree.
7. The mythical 4 hours was to push. 3 to show. 2:30 was a concession, but not a huge one.
The rest, either I like, or it is due to incompetence. I like being "rolled" into another hour of pay for another short call, after only sitting short call for 2 hours. Honest to god, it is my favorite. I go to be at night hoping to be "rolled" the next day. "Rolled" means I sat short call for 2 hours, then get the rest of the day off, and got paid an hour. Who wouldn't love that?
The unpredictability and incompetence. Yeah, I agree. Section 6 won't fix that. Personally I wish they would figure out how to pay me correctly first.
Most of what you wrote you don't like, I do like. So do almost all the other pilots I fly with.
I flew every lUAL reserve system since 1995. This is the best.
As far as the screw desk, I would say lUAL's were far bigger f%$#king liars than the current ones. Perhaps more competent in the past, but more out to get you as well.

Sled,
Your gloating is tiresome and self serving. You're ONE guy in ONE base. And, most importantly, that base is currently hideously overstaffed. What about the rest of your fellow reserve maggots? Will you be so giddy when the tide changes and you're the one getting rolled on half of your days off? Will you post so gleefully when you get bumped and commute to reserve duty? As you well know, he pieces move a lot in this game. Perhaps you might want to take the wide angle view and consider those inhaling beyond your olfactory. I've spent a ton to time on reserve, on both the good side and the bad. Its not always so easy and stress free.
As it now stands, you have the bull by the twins. Congrats. Not all are so lucky or will remain so. I hope the remainder of your career is equally gilded.
And I hope the Pats kick the Broncos a$$es.

Pretty stupid to announce on a public forum that you will be drinking beer while on reserve status.

All flights

Is it your last day on? Your post did not indicate that.
20-K-5-c A Long Call Reserve is released at 1000 on his last day of reserve if the next day is an RDO, HDO or VDO and at 1500 on his last day of reserve if the next day is an FDO or CDO, provided no assignment has been made by those times.
