Required Schedule Check: Reserve
Hello all..did they drop the provision to check your schedule as a reserve pilot at 3 pm base time on your last X day before returning to work? I checked the Scheduling Handbook and I could not find it under “required schedule check”.. I could swear we had to do it a few years back but not sure if FAR 117 rest rules changed that... any guidance would be greatly appreciated..Thx

You aren't required to check your schedule, it just has to be there by then for the call out to be reduced from the official beginning of your reserve period.

Otherwise it is the normal 12 hour call out.

Pro tip: check your schedule before you go to bed on your last X day, to avoid the midnight call from scheduling with a trip assignment.

Thanks for the input...so the 10/12 hour assignments are for “check in” and not departure time-correct? Also, this may sound silly but are the midnight long call start times based on the time zones for your base? So much is done on “Mecca time” that I am beginning to wonder!
