At AWAC,

Cannot be assigned by Crew Scheduling (must bid for it), 5 days at 8hrs/day with two or three shifts per day (you bid for R1, R2 or R3), pays 4:10 per day (75hr/month guarantee) or actual/scheduled/trip/ duty rig as per our CBA, whichever is higher.

Peace.

Who would actually bid for that? Or is it just a line in the bid package that ends up on the most junior guys?

Generally goes to the most junior BUT I actually know a few who live in domicile who bid it intentionally, as it generally gives them more time at home. Our CS is generally not supposed to use RR (Ready Reserve) for overnights, although sometimes they do. Also might give someone the days off thy might need as opposed to a normal reserve line (or crappy regular line, for that matter).

That being said, when I initially upgraded, I spent 6 months on RR, and it was possibly the worst time in my airline career. I don't personally wish RR on anyone.....

Honestly I loved sitting Ready Reserve. It got me out of the apartment and around others.

That and I was able to break 120 credit back in April just asking for AR as much as possible!
