Thanks again, Fred. Posting this to the masses:

Expressjet has 2 hour callout and their pilots on reserve can aggressively "bid" for their trips on reserve. In other words, if you want to fly, you can choose the trips and volunteer for them the day before. This lets guys who want to fly get time, and the guys who don't want to fly on reserve mark "no fly request".

Does Commutair have anything similar? Airport reserve doesn't sound fun, but do Commutair pilots have the option to choose their reserve trips and schedule the day before? Thanks.
