I was rested to work until my original schedule had me dutying off, around 10pm Central. (My original FDP.) The RA they tried to stick me with had me working until 2am. No thanks. I’m always rested (or attempt to be rested) for what my original schedule has me working, accounting for some delays...as long as those delays don’t take me too far down the road. If the dElays or RA have me done close to my footprint, then yes, maybe I’ll accept...but it depends on a lot of factors. You accept an RA that takes you way past what you’re rested for, and you ding the airplane or go off the end... have fun with the the FAA and NTSB. There is no “mission”, ever. |

However, the company expects you to be rested for a full fdp when you show. Obviously if you’re fatigued then don’t fly. Just relaying what I’ve been told. |
I expect to fly the sequence I bid, not someone else's that gets randomly tacked onto mine.

In exchange, it would seem fair to pay me for both my original trip and the reassigned flying. At minimum this would be an extra 5:15 per day that isn't my original trip. |
The return of airport reserve?

I'm a reasonable person and I understand that sometimes the airline will need to reassign us to keep the gears turning smoothly.

Sometimes we forget that the point of our job is to move airplanes which in turn pays our salary. Our cool layovers or easy trips are secondary to moving people. If i get legally reassigned to keep the operation going so be it. However, i want to be compensated appropriately for it and I want to finish at the same time or earlier on the last day. I also think RA should be a last resort after reserves/makeup/og/premium. |

As a Envoy flow hopefull, the idea of ready reserve at American makes me question my life choices.

PR (200% or more) had to be offered before anyone out of base could cover a trip. Before CS could split the trip up. Before anyone could be reassigned or taken into an off day or.... |

It is in the FOM. You’re supposed to rested for any legal assignment. It’s not realistic.
