Hitting the line soon and just wondering-- how often do you all on reserve get minimum notice of a trip assignment? Or should I ask, what's a typical notice for a trip assignment?

2 hour call out is the minimum and it really depends. Sometime it never happens and sometimes it happens everyday. Just depends on what's going on. For example this week has been a cluster and I've only been getting 2 hour call outs that end up having an airplane delayed waiting for the whole crew. If you're trying to see if you can push the 2 hour window for a commute, it's a stretch. And there are plenty of ghost stories about certain chiefs waiting for you at the gate at the 2 hour mark. I can't imagine reserve is that long for a new hire so you may have to bite the bullet and get a crash pad. There's some good ones out there, just ask around. Good way to meet mainline pilots too.

Meh...when I was at CP, I did short call reserve from home at SMF. Can be a bit stressful, but life happens. Worst was eating at Chik fil the with family and the phone rings...

I’d drive a little closer to the airport during rush hour, and get breakfast then go home.
If traffic was worse than usual then that’s the way life is. I figured I could explain that there was an accident or whatever that made the drive longer.
In LA you could littleraly be sitting in Marina Del Ray, 20 minutes away and not make 2hrs if there was rush hour and an accident.
I just tried to be reasonable. Ready to go if they called, car packed.
Don’t beat yourself up over it.
