There is a provision for ready reserve, but it is not used for pilots currently. Normal reserve call out is 1.5 hours to report. Then, in domicile you have another hour to get yourself flight ready and be on the flight deck 20 minutes prior to departure...effectively, you have 2:10 to get to the airplane from the time you are called.
Seat lock is 24 months. If you come in as a Saab captain, you will remain there for 24 months. Yes there is a contract. I don't know what the terms will be for a street captain though.
