This is actually incorrect but if the company isn't pushing back then go with it.
The 117 rules were designed to give 10 hours inbetween duty off 15 after block in and show time to account for hotel travel time.
And...you don't have to block out at the new scheduled push time...it's perfectly fine to leave early...one of the most asinine things I witness is FAs who will sit on the airplane for 15 minutes to wait till 30 prior to board and CAs who won't release the brake until new scheduled push. That has nothing to do with the FAR. It's strictly based on coming on duty.

Yea they aren’t pushing back at all on it. They typically will alter our departure times to reflect 10 hours at the hotel before I even call.
I have had gate agents tell me they can’t close the door more than 10 prior from the new scheduled departure time. I don’t fight them about it but it sure is dumb.

We are just numbers and do what we are told. Policies are for the lowest common denominator....

Air Wisconsin CBA requires each day be looked at individually on reserve. Don't know what the minimum reserve day credit is, maybe 4.5, anything over that is above guarantee each and every day. Also, if you're above guarantee with say five reserve days left for the month and you are not used, you get the min reserve day credit for each day on top of what you've have already credited. Recall talking to those guys crediting 150 hours plus on reserve with some premium pickup.

I’ve always known the day prior what my assignment was, never had exactly 12 hrs heads up.
