During a long call. 20-I-6-d At 1500 all such assignments shall become firm and a Reserve
must check his schedule after 1500 to see if he has received an assignment.
Upon completing a trip. 20-K-1-d After blocking in at the termination of a Trip, a Reserve
must check to see if he has been given an assignment or reassignment
Upon completing an FSB. I think. I can't find the reference. There's "5-H-3-g A standby reserve...At the end of each assignment, each Pilot shall be
obligated to check if he has been released from his next standby assignment." But this is when they build FSB lines for the month, which they aren't doing.
We do NOT have to check our schedule after a SC. 20-K-6-g If unused, a Short Call Reserve reverts back to Long Call.
This actually applies to everything. After checking for an assignment in all of the above, if nothing is there, we're back on long call if "LSR" is there. It has to show that on the master schedule. Otherwise, we're off with phone availability required.
20-K-1-b During a period of reserve days, the Company may release, or schedule to release, a Reserve into an Off-Duty Period of predetermined length.
Sometimes scheduling forgets to put anything on the schedule. Even long call is required to show as "LSR" with a time frame. Union has fought this one with the company and the current directive is "master schedule is king" so if the schedule is blank, nada, nothing listed, then we don't have to answer phone.
