I assume you're talking about a legacy? At the regionals Our reserve call out is 1.5-2 hours, and not only that but we have no limit on the amount of times they can put you on airport standby in a month. Almost every reserve call you get ends with 2-6 hours of airport standby. At my airline it's common for them to call reserves at least once a week and put them on just 8 hours of airport standby with no flying assigned.
Legacy contracts don't seem so bad now eh?
