Mesaba Reserve Lines

[EMB Jockey]

Just curious about the captain reserve lines at Mesaba on the Saab? I work for Eagle now and out reserve system has three different start times for the reserve pilots on call at home. Does Mesaba have anything like this or how does there reserve schedule work. I know about the 1.5 hour callout but at what times does it start?

Hey, in the same boat as you. I had a buddy send me their bid packet and it looks like MEM DTW Saab have RAP times that are about the same as ours.

R1- 5am-7pm
R2-10am-midnight
R3/cdo-7pm-midnight
1.5 hour callout/2.5 hours from call to departure time

What can you tell me about the 24hr reserve at XJ?? I am in training still and haven't heard much about it?

 

[nellie2110]

Only applies if you get a trip pulled by scheduling. Then you get a 24hr call out notice for days that were pulled.

Are you a new street capt. or fo?

 

[Limeyflyer]

Street CA. Just finished up systems and have the Oral next week. Looking forward to getting on board with you guys. I have been very impressed with everything I have seen up to this point.

Welcome!

I'd summarize here, but it's easier, and you will understand it better, if you just look it up in the contract. Section 25 I "Trip Displacement".

If you don't have a contract yet, you can get a pdf from the LEC or MEC page of the ALPA members section.

Good luck, and enjoy!

Thanks XJ, Yeah I have the contract, haven't had time to even bend the covers on that one yet. I appreciate the info though. Just got to get this Oral passed now and then have a break before sims.

Thank you, I appreciate it

good luck as a street captain, if you have a good attitude and have a understanding of the systems you will do fine in the oral, and the sims. just dont have a i'm the greatest pilot attitude, that will get you washed out faster than anything! i talked with an apd who has been part of more than a few dozen firings in the past months and a lot have been attitude related. back to the rsv question, a lot of times you can work with scheduling to let you sit rsv out of your domicile, and in a different base, ie. mem instead of dtw for example.
-welcome onboard!!
glad to have you here

for all who are reading this who are on XJ reserve. Know the contract. they are trying to send pilots on 5 days (four nights) of out of base reserve. That (four nights) only applies if you asked for out of base reserve. If you are forced into it, its four DAYS, and if you are still away from home the fourth night, it must be on a trip overnight. I called them on it and now am not on 5 days of out of base reserve. they eiher have to fly my home on the fourth day or give me a trip with an overnight.

hawk,
thanks for the info. I've done a couple of 5 day tdys in the last two months. do you know where that info is in the contract?

 

[Andrew_VT]

Speaking of reserve...have any dtw saab FO's been getting called lately? I just finished reserve day 4 of 5. I called sched twice to make sure I was still on the 'first call' list (I commute) and still nothing!

I feel like the walls of the crashpad are closing in on me...

 

[sopdan]

Nope, just finished day 3 of 3 of time available, no call. (and they're already paying me trip guarantee)

That means 10 days off in a row for me.

I'm still new at this but I happened to be reading up on the reserve duty section of the contract since I will probably be on it for a long time to come. Anyway, in the hard copy of the contract go here:
Section 25, page 23, section 11, sub b: Reserve Pilots-Out of Domicile.

As far as I understand it, he's right, the line actually says: "A reserve pilot will not be required to spend more than four consecutive nights away from his base."

There is a bit more in 25.24 sub d part (3) regarding involuntary out-of-base reserve.
