I am a reserve FO base assisting right now. I've been with the company long enough to know what FDP and ready are I think, but I just want to see if this checks. First day was a deadhead with FDP at the end. I went to the hotel right when I landed. Second day was 10 hours of FDP during my normal reserve shift (1200-2200). I stayed in the hotel for that. It wasn't coded R10 or R08. The next day, I had FDP starting at 1200 until 1745, then a leg scheduled for 1830 departure. FDP coded as such again, not as ready. I don't need to be at the airport for that do I? Isn't that the regular reserve period with a 1.5 hr callout?

Hotel is kicking me out at 2pm, so I called crew tracking and the guy said FDP is ready reserve and I should have been at the airport yesterday from 1200-2200. I told him if thats the case then to change my status to ready reserve and have it reflect as such in my schedule. Didn't we put that issue to rest? Union issue, chief pilot issue, or me not understanding issue?
