Everyone is on RSV, in some fashion. We bid foot prints to work- and the CO builds a schedule based on that.
We do have "lines" but they always change, the footprint doesn't.
Unless- you are a pure RSV pilot, then you can be extended 3 additional days. That will
Cost the CO about 20 hours of pay.
We have 3 types of RSV. Home- you don't get paid, Hotel RSV. 1.5 hour to report, and HOT RSV 6 hours at the DHL soon to be amazon Sort.
At the end of the day- all the pilots typically bid a footprint. Sometimes it's one week on, one week off- or combo of days.
You can bid whatever you like- Asia, Europe, domestic, AMC, or South America flying.
But, it doesn't mean you will be flying that.
And it's very rare you will be called while on RSV- noramlly they pre load your schedule with flying about 7-10 days out.
If you are called on RSV, in my experience it's never been "hurry to airport" it's normally for a day or two later. But- everyone has their experience, just speaking of mine own.
Clear enough ??
