Reserve callout?

[Doggiepaddle]

I would really appreciate some feedback on reserve callout times at different regionals. If you could also include info on different types of reserve? As in ready, long call or short call? How is the bid structured? Plesae include airline.

Thank you in advance,
Doggiepaddle

1 hour to sign-in at Piedmont.

Something that we're embarrassed to admit. We have some pretty poor RSV language in our Contract. Those who negotiated our contract up to this point, have been senior and haven't sat RSV in 15 years.

since i might have to start dealing with this as$inine rule
do you guys keep crew sheets to sign your other members in if they're running behind?
or does everyone pretty much only look out for themselves?
and how does it work if your first leg is a deadhead?

No airport reserve?! Thats beautiful.....

Our reserve "paragraph" sucks at Pinnacle.....

We have 3 Airport Reserve Periods, 1 home reserve period. You can only be called to sit reserve at the airport in domicile. And all ready reserves have to be exhausted to call a home reserve pilot in for ready reserve.

In DTW:

Ready AM: 7:57-16:57
Ready PM: 13:25-22:25
Ready Late: 18:30-22:35
Home: 7:35-21:35 (1.5 hour callout)

Our "airport reserve" is whoever is unlucky enough to come in on the last leg of their trip just about the time scheduling realizes they need someone.

"OK 458, we have you in range and we need the Captain (FO) to call scheduling"

"F*CK!!!!"

 

[low-key]

1.5 hour call out at CHQ, and yes there is hot reserve but i dont think its been used for quite awhile.

ATA:

Airport Reserve: Exists in theory but never used (they have to pay for a hotel room @ the airport and pay you per diem, so it's never been used that I'm aware of)

Long call : 12 hour callout and 24 hour per day window (12 days off)
Short call : 2 hour callout and 12 hour per day window (14 days off)

SkyWest:

Airport reserve : Used very often when I worked there, 20 minute callout.

Short call : 1.5 hour callout and 12 hour window. (10 or 11 days off)

We have 2 hour call out at Air Whiskey for regualr reserve. Scheduling will assign you reserve times the night before if you are on regular reserve. We also have long call reserve on relief lines only. That is a 48 hour call out I believe. i.e. call Monday for any assignments for Wednesday. We have airport reserve as well. Not to sure on the hours though.

American Eagle:
2 hour call out to sign in time. We have airport ready reserve. We also have a proffering system that allows us to bid for open trips the next day. If you are sitting home reserve one day, and decide to proffer for a trip that starts at 9pm the next night, and you get awarded that trip, then you are released until 9pm the next night. The proffers are awarded at 5pm central time, and are awarded based on seniority. 10 days off

RSV at MESA

At Mesa:

90 minute callout for major metro areas, LAX is 2 hrs.

RSV Line 9 days off/ month. Shifts are 12 hours long, and vary from base to base, but typically 5-5, 6-6, 12-12.

Call me first/Call me last list.

Ready RSV in 8(3.9 pay), 10(4.9 pay), or 12(5.9 pay) hour shifts, being junior assigned at the moment, but all Junior assignments are at 1.5 pay.

 

[j41driver]

ACA is 2 hours from notification to show. Ready RSV is used in some seats more than others.

 

[PadFull'oTrim]

CHQ--- 11 days off (min) for reserve pilots

Piedmont-
Depends on the base. It's a great group of people here and a phone call can fix the problem.

No airport reserve.

Just that one hour call to sign-in. As for DH's, I have scheduling adjust the report time so that I don't have to sit in the airport any longer than I have to.


Good luck this week. What CCY is doing is criminal. DOH is the only right way to go. Just this pilot's two cents...

Skyway(midwest connect) 1.5 hour callout no ready reserve, 10 days off 3 reserve periods

Mesa: 9 days off a month on reserve, you gotta be kidding me?Now thats just ridiculous.

it gets better, a 'day off' is any 24 hour period....
so say they finish a trip and are off duty at...1430
if they have a trip the next day at 1431, they have had a 'day off'

beautiful huh?

I wish I could say that I feel your pain, but really I dont because you make your own life in this industry, you and your team vote yes or no on a contract and somehow Mesa voted in the last one, how I dont know because EVERY Mesa pilot i come in contact with and ask about their contract and if they voted YES or NO, i still havent gotten a yes answer, I must just be running into the 13% of you that voted no, i guess i still gotta find the other 87% that agreed to that dismal contract and more a$$ raping by J.O.

dude, my pain is entirely different lol, i'm not at mesa, that info i've gotten from mesa people i've talked to, we've got our own messed up issues where i'm at.

 

[low-key]

DASH, if you are at one of the W.O.'s i feel your pain, i was at ALG for about a year after 9-11, wasnt too bad then but still have some friends there and its a sad sitch for those guys, good luck

 

[stall022]

mesa days off must be IN base and are infact from 0001 till 2400 just like every other airline. any 24 hour periods other then that are for rest ONLY.

yeah still wasn't to bad back then, but now is an entirely different story...i'm sure you've heard the majority of the problems

 

[stall022]

could happen here just like it could happen at many other airlines. in the years i've been here i've never seen that happen.

per the contract "the company will use its best efforts to group days off such that each regular line will have 3 periods of atleast 3 days off each bid period, reserve lines shall have 2 periods of 3 consecutive days off each bid period" thats usually the normal thing for reserve. last month i flew 3 days on reserve and sat at home the rest of the time.
