No guarantee at SWA. Every reserve day pays 6 if you don’t get called and 6.5min per day rig if you do get called. Full trip rigs apply. 15days off min per month.

I was able to give most of my reserve away or trade it for trips because it’s a good deal if you live in base. I commute.

We only have SC though (2hr callout) and no LC. The plus side of that is fewer pilots on reserve. No airport standby.

It’s an AM or PM window for the month of 14hrs and built in blocks of 3 or 4 days at a time.

There’s a few details that could be improved on, but overall it’s a simple good system that pays well. Pay can only go up if you get called, so there’s incentive for pilots living in base to bid it.
