Trips are assigned in bucket order (4 day trips to 4 day bucket, etc.) in the following order: long call CMF, long call NP, short call CMF, short call NP

Scheduling is not supposed to break up trips to multiple parts, so if you are long call, you mostly get whole trips, not fragments.

Min day: 3.75, duty rig applies to scheduled and rescheduled reserve trips
Ready reserve is 8 hours/ 4 hrs ready reserve min day guarantee
Can only do 6 ready reserve shifts in a month, only short call can do ready reserve, ready reserves are given to reserve pilots with max days of availability (4, 5 or 6) and min credit hours.

There is a reserve list to view the bucket list for assigning trips and ready reserve, as well as the ability to view every other reserve pilot's schedule.

For the most part scheduling does a respectable job assigning trips. Errors are made occasionally but it's night and day compared to the old contract, and most regional reserve systems.
Sounds just like XJET reserve
