It may be moot right now, but if it's not addressed, when the company does decide to bring them back it'll become important. So given the opportunity we may as well address it.

Didn't say it shouldn't be. I'm sure they will come back at some point. I think they should be worth 8 hours, personally.

Fair enough. Hopefully we'll see the language to make any CDO credit 8 hours.

You could have a rule that simply says, for any trip in open time, 24 hrs before the report time any reserve pilot can pick it up.
This would reduce the workload on schedulers so it is a win/win.
Reserve pilots could then have some control on their life. If you are a commuter you could grab a trip that helps your commute instead of losing a day becuase the give you a late trip on your last day or early one on first
The company has to assign the open trips anyway so why not allow pilots to pick them up.they would probably find there are much few open trips each day.
Trips are assigned a week out at G7 and AX.

Since our line holders can drop trips at any time, we are going to have trips added to open time almost any day. But if reserves could pick up the last minute drops it would improve their QOL.

Hi guys! What is the real time people are sitting on reserve? Do you think it will go up or down? Recruiters are saying 4 months, but I've heard rumors of people who have been on reserve since August...

SkyWest is 2:1 duty RIG up to 12 hours, then 1:1. So a 13 hour TAFB highspeed for them pays 7 hours of credit.

Attrition here (the good captain kind) seems good from a 750 or so pilot group. But yes... Some of those on reserve now had unfortunate timing.
Yeah current reserve time means nothing. They'll all be off reserve very soon. New hires.. I think 4 mo is reasonable. We are already back to right size.

anyone else have a notification in IOCC that the reserve times for several of their days in June have changed?
In mine it was the first and last day of 3 different stretches of reserve.
It changed from LCR start of 0300 to now it says 0001-0000

I think I had something similar a couple months ago, though only with a few days and not from LCR. I just let scheduling know and they fixed it right away. Some glitch or something. I got a weird RSV time slot for today that I assume was also a glitch.
