Historically, crew services would have reserves go to the airport for a rescue flight because a crew called something in on ARINC. By the time the reserves got to the airport and dispatch finally got their sheet together on which airplane to use, where to send them, where the airplane was parked, etc, etc, etc, contract maintenance at the out station would have the airplane fixed. The rsv crew would be sent home but still be on rsv for the rest of their rsv period. This should stop with the contract but at least if it still happens then the rsv crew is off after a few hours.
So, to answer your question, there is no requirement to go to the airport and wait for an assignment.

Ladies/Gentleman,
Sorry to intrude but just trying to do some research and get a reality check for myself. Posted a similar question in another room.
I was hoping you could give me an idea of what hour requirements Allegiant would hire with military background. I am still a while away from putting in any applications to anyone, but just doing some research. I'll have 1500hrs, much less than standard requirements, but 2/3rds of these would be from a 4 engined 757 sized jet. Would I stand a chance or should I be aiming for regionals first?
Any thoughts/opinions/reality check much appreciated.

How much of those 1500 hours are pic? I'm guessing not many. Who knows what the min is and it changes but I got hired with just over 2000 hrs all ME PIC or instructor. I think others are right...with the new contract everything is going to be much more competitive

With a new contract I would expect the average hours and experience of new hires will go up for at least a time. Like said before your best chance is to attend a meet and greet.

We can expect certain levels of attrition to continue...there's even one idiot who's only been here a few months blathering about leaving BECAUSE the TA passed, so opportunities abound.
yup, just got the No Thanks email.. bumber....
