what do RRP and RDD mean?

 

[Dash8]

reserve days

 

[PA31Ho]

right, but what is the diff between rrp and rdd because obviously they can't keep me on reserve for 14 days in a row...

 

[Dash8]

wanna bet? lol
not sure the difference, never sat reserve at pdt, do you have your contract yet? it might be in there some where, i'll look to see if i can find out in the mean time

 

[bizzum]

RRP is your reserve days.....RDD are you golden days, or your 4 days off a month when you cannot be jr manned etc.

 

[Dash8]

what bizzum said

 

[PA31Ho]

ahh gotcha... thanks! I called scheduling yesterday to tell them that I was willing to fly if they needed me and they told me well we can't do that because that would put me over the 6 day limit without an off day... so that's where I got that from.

 

[Dash8]

dude, are you serious? calling and saying yoru willing to fly? lol oooh, to be young and impetious again...

soon enough you'll be seing that 410 number come up on caller id, and silencing the ringer

 

[WSurf]

Omg, Yea.... To be eager and wanting to fly! man I remember those days. It will just take that one mistake of answering that phone on your day off with plans!
See if your as willing in 8-12 months my young grasshopper!!!

Anyway, Congrats on the job! Not a bad place to work, and you'll make more money then most your first year.

 

[PA31Ho]

well the reason i called is because i haven't flown in 10 days... i've flown once since soe... i have 800 hours and want to build time... there will be a time (not far from now probably) when I will be silencing that ringer, but not now
