I never have to do Ready as I bid CML and I'm the most senior guy.
Also where are people award RS4? I have never seen that awarded or offered in the ORD or IAD bases.
Sorry, I mean't RS4 goes Senior, not Junior. They have RS4 in CLT, and I think PHX. It varies from 1-4 guys in CLT on RS4. Lately just one. Also, in the Airways system they always have guys sitting ready reserve on the RS1 and RS3 shifts. Almost never do you get to sit at home. I heard it is rare to sit Ready in IAD in the United system. Lucky ducks... Probably a contract thing that Airways has requiring this...just a guess.
