If you have a line you’ll be given 48 hours to swap your schedule with opentime trips, all based in seniority. If you get a Relief (REL) line (partial reserve and some trips) you have to wait until it’s published. Reserve (RSV) gets what they get but both REL and RSV can ask for a set of 4 days, or 2 and 2, off when bidding. That of course is based on seniority and the needs for RSV coverage. Normally you can’t swap trips for RSV days and vice versa. PHL and CLT also have active reserve (8 hours) up to 8 days a month that you have to sit at the crew room and do
whatever…
