CLT short-call reserve from Greenville, SC?
Does anyone sit A-320 short-call reserve from Greenville, SC? (I searched previous threads but didn't find much.) Any insight is appreciated. Feel free to pm me if preferred. Thanks!

(as an equal opportunity poster, switch gender assignments on the above post if you're female):D If someone tries to pin you down on a 2 hour notification to sign in time, they're full of sheet. I haven't heard any discussion of what the trip wire is, but 4+ will get your reserve buddies ****ed at you for covering your trips, while nobody would (or should cry) if it takes 2 hours to get there. A little gray area, hope this helps. |

Quickest route on google maps shows roughly a 1 hour 38 minute drive. Add in a 30 min buffer and that puts you just over 2 hours. Our contract does not specify a specific time to report to the aircraft while on short call. As the above poster mentioned, just have your uniform and bags packed/ready to go and you should have no problem.

I did SC 110 miles (75 mph speed limit) away in Arizona for ten years with a hard 2 hr call out. You should have no problem with "promply and safely".

1+38 hr (+/-) drive? Absolutely. Don't sweat it. Personally I'd be ready to go with gas, bag ready, shaved, etc, but other wise I'd relax. Golf or tennis? I'd play on the CLT side and town and I'd bring a towel with me to shower at the facility before heading to work. It's actually a great combo "I'm on call so I'm going golfing." If CS calls figure out how many holes you can continue to play before having to drive to the airport.

I did it from anderson, sc under the old system, ie 90 min. normal drive. Absolutely you can do it from Greenville.

Thanks! This certainly opens up the realm of possibilities.

Any insight on living in Greenville? Otis Our crap union could agree to a 1:30 report time and you'd be screwed. (I never cease to be amazed by the new and entertaining ways our garbage union sees fit to give away more and more-despite the profits.) |
