Reserve at Skywest is a nightmare now. Thankfully I am not reserve but I know people who are and the new reserve rules are completely destroying their QOL.
What you keep reading about is likely in reference to the new stunt the company has started pulling which is assigning trips to people outside of their reserve period. So if you are scheduled 9 am- 9 pm reserve, ordinarily the earliest you would have to answer your phone would be 9 am, receive a 2 hour call out, and report at 11 am. Now that time means absolutely nothing. They have been giving 5 am report times to those guys and considering them “automatically notified”.
This is terrible for commuters who would ordinarily be able to commute in before 9 am but now have to come the night before, lose a day off and pay for a hotel.
