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.

The biggest thing you can do to improve reserve is to allow reserve pilots to pick up open time. This will allow you to greatly improve QOL.
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.

Also from talking to my buddy at Skywest it sounds like they get credit for the entire time they are out of base on a CDO. He said that they get something like 7-8 hours credit for a LSE or RST high speed. This leads to CDO's actually going senior there as you can credit around 80 hours/month in about 11 days of work.

I don't know where they're getting that projection from and that is definitely a projection but with the hiring freeze and attrition we seem to be right sizing the pilot group and once its right sized and they continue hiring even if its for attrition only 4 months would be maybe possible depending when a new hire gets in property. 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.

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.
