The company will reimburse any charges to pilots that are non-refundable if vacation is postponed. So at least that's a thing.

Unfortunately they won't be able to reimburse the time. It is one thing money cannot buy.

Ironic, sounds like TSH planning.

Mistake number 1: answering your phone on a day off. If we start junior manning, no way I'm answering a call from a 612 number on my day off.

I'll just let every unknown number go to voicemail. Problem solved!

the good thing about RAH is that if you DID answer on a day off you could tell them to pound sand. You had no obligation to accept an assignment.

Coming off of an upgrade, and you are given reserve days after OE, how do you know what RAP you are supposed to be, or does it just go by whatever they need those days since you never bid? Does it even matter since they can change them anyway?

What is the current reserve time for SEA/LAX? Heard it was still at 6 months?

A little longer as of now, but that’s because there was no hiring this year till June. Those June guys seem to be finished with training now so I would say it will trend to 6 months or a little less on reserve. And this is for LAX.
