Please, please guys, I am not interested in your personal opinion about Gojets, I just would like to hear about the pilots commuting on reserve.
BTW I already know commuting sucks and commuting on reserve even more.
When your schedule is awarded it's all long call reserve and then the company picks 10 days (two five day blocks) to convert to short call reserve. You have no say in the days (pilots beg for specific days to deaf ears) that become short call. You also have no say in what short call period they give you. Seniority is not considered when assigning reserve periods or reserve call outs. It's common to start a stretch of short call reserve with an 0300 available time. On your last day you're automatically released if they haven't called you by 1700.
