Reserve Abus and Boeing in LAX
I am curious what its like on reserve in LAX. Do you get the minimum call of 2 hours? Assigned much earlier? Percentages? Etc....
Also, how many hours are you flying per month? Days off at home if you can sit at home on reserve?
Thanks

Depends, Short Call or Long Call. Short call is 2 hour call, Long is 12.5 hours. Short call has different time zones like 0300/0900/1300/1700. Long call you are placed into rest upon assignment. Where is home? Reserve utilization changes month to month so it’s hard to answer that. There are five monthly periods off 120hrs, 72hrs, and two 48hrs.

If you live in base it’s not bad 79 hour guarantee for 2 hour short call and 75 for long call. Very rarely get 2 hour call outs, most often assigned the night prior. I work on average 6 days a month on short call and unusual months are 15 days max. You can pick up if you want to around 95 hours. Those who commute get abused for some reason and work way more than I do.
