our reserve availability periods default to 0700 start. Yes, scheduling shifts them a bit after your first day but that’s not too typical. FAR part 117 governs the length of the reserve period which is 14 hours for short call. Get familiar with 117, you’ll need it.
for guys asking about schedules: none of our schedules plan to be back in base for overnights. All overnights are in outstations. PHL and CLT generally come back to base for turns throughout the trip though, MDT you’re just out in the system for four whole days.
