I guess my two biggest questions are:
Can you proffer for flying on reserve?
What are the duty periods for reserve?
3 hour call out for short call. 14 hour for long call.
In my experience I feel the early morning RAPs get used the most. It’s not that bad if you have a decent place to stay or live in base. It’s somewhat rare to get the “good morning, be at the airport in exactly 3 hours” phone call. But reserve is reserve and it sucks as a commuter.
