You don’t know what you have until it’s gone. I know it’s a corny saying but it’s 100% true.

Absolutely. Not flying much in 2020 was eye opening. I did not like going to the sim for my 3 bounces.

Totally. I’m not sure how hard I’m willing to work to get to “my number” anymore, but I simultaneously want to get to “my number” sooner so I can just toss the keys on the dash one day and walk out. Not having a job to go to was one of the most liberating things I’ve ever felt……. Except for the fear that there would be no job to go back to.

Well, having no job is absolutely awesome if you can make it to retirement. It beats anything I’ve ever done before, and that includes the jobs I loved.
Of course, the downside is that there are a lot fewer years left to enjoy the respite from the daily grind …

I know what all of these words mean, but they don’t make sense in this arrangement.
Sounds great to me!

That's because all of your experience with reserve was NB domestic, (and not United's Global Reserve).

Certainly there are red flags when widebodies are going to the bottom of new hire classes. I think that’s a wake up call to change some sections of the contract. But what do I know, I just fly the line at another airline lol

What is global reserve? Airport standby?

On widebody fleets in certain bases half your days off are rollable. You get them back, but you can only count on 6 specific days off per month.

You aren’t wrong.

There are regionals with better reserve rules than United.

I know…. I came from one!
That said, my paycheck and overall treatment says things are pretty super so imma just gonna let the Union do their thing. They’ll get there eventually.

I guess AS is a regional but we don't have better rules.

I had an IOE instructor who was a former chief pilot tell me my current place was basically a regional with bigger planes almost 7 years ago now….. he wasn’t wrong, necessarily.

On a side note I am happy for Swayne. I hope he has a great career that is far better than mine. I'm glad he didn't have to deal with the lost decade and bigots.
Good for him. I'm not player hater.

Still think it’s kinda funny that AA really dropped the ball with Swayne being their poster child of upcoming and they think this dude is just gonna sit around until AA flows him? Nice sweep under the rug from UA. I am sure they don’t care but I found it kinda funny

You don’t have airport reserve. That is absolute crap. Had that at my regional. Apparently United is the only legacy that still has airport ready reserve. Yuck
