The duty rig thing is not good. That’s a legitimate black mark.
Current job has 13-hour airport shifts and NO recliners.
Can you go into the release more on the last day? Shouldn’t you be done at noon after an 8-hour reserve shift? As in, they’re trying to see if they need to extend you for tomorrow so they won’t let you go home, or are you talking about the time left on the clock when they can no longer use you when you want to leave?
What’s the reality with all of the reserve proffering nonsense they talk about?
The release I was talking about was if you are still on a RAP not airport standby. If they don't use you on airport standby yes you are released at the end of the 8 hours.
Proffering works well if you are senior reserve otherwise it's a crapshoot. From 10 am to 2 pm all the reserves put what they want for the following day that is open and they are awarded in seniority order by 5 pm central.
13 hours airport standby? I'd pass on that I can see why you want out, but just because it's better here than where you are currently doesn't mean we have anything industry leading.
