Staffing. People don't like to work at Skywest they want to credit like 75 hrs and be at home more. So everyone is complaining.

The reserve rules are really basic. 3 types reserve shortcall vs long call vs ready. Ready is like a 30 minute call time but you can only be on ready for 4 hrs or something like that, shortcall is 2 hr call out in shifts of 12 hrs. 4am to 4pm or 9 to 9. Then long call is a 12 hr call out available 24hrs a day for 4 days at a time.

At the end of your shift you're done. You don't have to call in for release like at some airlines. There is very little variables. You have your schedule of when your on call and when your not. It doesn't change (for the most part, long call can be changed a few times a month)

But really people just don't like being on call.
