I believe that AE has entire reserve lines for the month that are hot/airport standby lines. Most, if not al regionals still have it. Although the time length of the period varies greatly, the credit, etc. As well as how many times, if they can assign it consecutively, etc.
And if you were way back in the 90's, remember before the change to the rule that for domestic for reserves? IE; a reserve period/RAP WASN'T considered "duty", even hot reserve. So, get to the airport at 6 am for a 12 hour period, THEN get called at 17:55 to fly 3-4-5 legs till midnight into a reduced rest overnight, uggghhhhh..........
