Recently we have had some clarifications to our RR rules. If they call you for a trip that trip must leave within the the 8 hours (comes from being called 3 minutes before end time for a flight 3 hours later). If you're flight ends before you're finished their are 3 possible things. Stay until RR periods ends - and leave. Scheduling can release you early then extend your reserve day to the 14 hrs. Or just released early no strings.

If the flight ends after your RR period, you're contactable for 30 minutes after. I am not sure if there is a limit of how many RR's you can have but I have never seen more than 1 complete crew per aircraft type. So 9 people sitting per RR period. However I haven't seen 900 or SAAB RR's for sometime.

We check in at Mesaba but not check out. To me this check out business you have is a non-starter for me...If the scheduling section is TA'd I would sure like to believe the type of bs you guys are going through is over.
