Additions/Modifications
The min duty credit is per duty period, not per day, so high-speeds are only worth 3.5 (unless they block more, obviously).
You don't get pay credit if you don't work on reserve. You get 3.5 credit if you call in sick or have ALPA leave, etc.
You can be scheduled for up to 14 hours duty for an assignment and delays can take you up to 16.
Duty assignments are made after 12:00pm the day prior and reserve periods are assigned after duty assignments. Crappy system for commuters.
Bucket system is used. Buckets are called silos at Compass for some reason.
Flying varies greatly depending on month, base, and position.
Ready reserve periods are up to eight hours long. You can be assigned an assignment up to one hour past the end of the ready reserve period, but can't be assigned something a short call reserve could do.
PM reserve goes to next pilot in the two day silo, AM reserve goes to next pilot in the one day silo.
