On the schedule is that what that "RS3" thing stands for? I just find it weird that I have no scheduled ready reserves. Perhaps because I live in base and already got consolidated this month with that line they gave me?
Thanks guys,
Like I said Scotty, ready reserve is only assigned about 2 days out. If you bid for it, they have a record of that. If you are available for a ready reserve assignment on the days you bid for it and no one senior to you bid that same shift then they will assign it to you...about 2 days out. Also...if no one bid for a ready reserve shift on any given day and you are the most junior available FO, then you will get assigned it whether you bid for it or not.
RS3 means you were awarded the afternoon regular reserve shift. RS1 means you have been awarded the morning shift. As a reserve pilot that is all you will see until they assign ready reserve or flying.
