For the 2 hour call out, I am assuming that means you have 2 hours from the call to report to the gate.
EXAMPLE: If I sit HOT RESERVE several days in a month and only FLY 5 hours, am I paid for my guarantee?
EXAMPLE: If I fly 90 hours in a month and sit HOT RESERVE for 5 days, am I paid for only 90 hours of credit?
Thanks for answering.
The hot reserve periods are 0500-2300.. I believe. Cant remember exactly, but I know I had a few hot periods that took me to 11pm, because I was specifically remember begging for an early release at 1040 to catch a last of the night commute flight. But with that said, you dont go all day. There were also a lot of days where id get a hot reserve assignment but at check in time, they would give me a flight assignment. There are so many people calling out sick, repo flights, cancellations etc, they use the reserves a decent amount. At least back then... as they get more FO's on property, maybe that changes.. im not sure. Time will tell.
