Q-81. What are the limits for long call reserve?
A-81. Notwithstanding any collective bargaining provisions, in
long call reserve, you are subject to call anytime during
any 24-hour time period. However, the certificate holder
must give the flightcrew member at least 10 hours’ notice
so he/she can get rest prior to starting a FDP. The FDP limit
would be determined from the FDP Table depending on the
report time for flight duty.
If the flight assignment that begins before and will operate
into the window of circadian low (WOCL, which is 0200-
0559), the flightcrew member must be given a 12 hour
notice of the assignment. This WOCL assignment does not
require a 12-hour rest period, the rest requirements remain
unchanged. (See Q-64.)
To my knowledge, the term "short call" isn't used, so am I correct that as long as AA's reserve language isn't changed, everyone would be "long call", and be subject to a 10hr or 12hr notice for a FDP? Or, am I off my rocker?
