US Airways stews need to grow up. There are two options for the future, either A- Die or B- be lucky enough to be swallowed whole by a big boy airline. If B happens there will be no bud sheet, no clinging to the pilots, and reserve will not be a lifelong sentence. Get over it. The BID SHEET puts four times as many people on reserve than at other carriers, not rotation. Other carriers divide time more evenly, they don't have half the airline sit so a select few can change their schedule on a daily basis. The US system is ridiculous.
VA is correct, maybe if you weren't attached to a moronic group of pilots, maybe there wouldn't be huge alter ego airlines on the property doing all the flying and there would be a bigger airline and growth. But what you have now us a very small airline that hasn't grown in a decade and without a merger never will. Start playing fair or everyone below you will quit- trust me, they have more skills, are more employable, and have much less to lose. When they do, you'll be left to enjoy what you negotiated.
Reserves should vote no to anything OTHER than rotation.
