Hello Boston Peeps!

The May schedule for reserves had some behind the scenes changes,  which will have a cause an effect to the trips assigned.  Our longest trip is 4 days and the reserve lines are usually based on that fact to make sure at least one line has one day of someone coming on call for 4 days after a day off.  This is called a fresh start.  We have run into problems because some of our trips start before 5am and technically a reserve will need to be released the day before to be legal for an early check-in.  So the powers that be decided to consider our fresh starts to be based on 3 days of availability.  Which means they are willing to split the trip up into a 1, 2 or 3 day trip.  It solves the problem of not having reserved legal for these early 4 day trips.  So perhaps in the future,  they will consider going back to mostly 2 and 3 days trips for us. 

In the meantime be prepared for these 4 day trips to get split up,  so that a Boston Reserve will be legal to fly the first part of the trip. Another might end up flying the last part.
