Can someone who commutes into these bases shed some light as to whether it's only a Memphis thing or do the CPs have a little leeway to allow us to jump into LAX and ANC trips and be protected as long as we're on a Purple Tail?
Just wondering,

MEM has 1.5 hour reserve call out and airport standby crews.
LAX and ANC have 3 hour reserve call and NO airport standby crews.
If your inbound gets diverted (wx/mechanical/sweep) the company would more than likely have to draft someone to cover the trip.
Hope this helps...
