For many, many years now I have targeted long, inefficient patterns for roster adjustment. There are multiple ways to do this. One is the old fashioned sick call, but another is a well-timed ASR-F. Taking patterns apart with a well thought out trade can also produce the desired outcome. The bottom line is that the Company needs to be punished when they roster stupidly. Integrating reserve into every pattern via EXBs and O days is unacceptable. Whether CMP will be allowed to fix this or not remains to be seen.
