Yes. We have AM and PM reserve blocks. They are referred to as RAP (reserve availability period), and the times vary by domicile. In OAK, AM RAP is 0300-1700, PM RAP is 1000-0000. You have 2 hours to report once notified. And yes, if not used during a day, you're released at end of RAP until the next day. On your last day of reserve, if not assigned a trip, you're released after 7 hours. Helps the commuters get home.
The contract also says that if unassigned after 8 hours into your RAP, you're released.
