Quote from contract:
"Once a reserve pilot has started a reserve period, he may not be released early into rest and assigned a trip departing within the 10-hour period following his originally scheduled reserve duty period".
you can read, right? This clearly shows that you don't even have to be "released" into rest, you just have to be assigned a trip more than 10:00 hours from the time they release you. The important this to keep in mind in this situation, is the new contract prohibits you from having more than one check in during a calendar day.
If you start reserve anytime after 200PM you can be assigned any trip 10:01 hours from when they notify you. In this example if you started reserve at 1400 they call at 1415, they can assign you a trip with 1215 departure time. Email your rep, and they will confirm for you.
Let me thank you for showing a clear example of how the MEC cited examples of one thing, but really didn't consider all angles. Also let me thank you for showing everyone here how some people are, for some reason, defending the new CBA at the same time the company is violating the CBA.
This following thread is a perfect example of how the attitude is at Spirit. People defend the contract in one breath while giving examples of how the company violated their transition and whining about how their insurance went up, and how they can't pickup open time at 150%.
- trip drops or scheduling changes almost always results in more credit or 100% pay protection.
If you drop a trip, you don't get paid for it...if the company cancels you get paid
I was only clarifying you example of how a trip drop almost always results in more credit. You do know with the new CBA, there is no provision for them to pay protect you for some under the table deal (like fly this 4 day trip the day before yours starts and we will pay you for the new 4 day and pay protect you for the original 4 day).
