Just got a shambles of a February roster (middle bid) since I was “specially selected” to serve a week of reserve in my non reserve month , resulting of course in my bid preferences being discarded.
As this is my first time to experience this in my decade at EK I was just curious how common this practice is. Has it been going on forever and I’ve been lucky or is it a relatively new thing? Seems odd with so many aircraft parked and loads of regular reserves that this should be required.
Anyway just want to get a feel for this “new to me” situation so I don’t summer on it too much. Thoughts?
