Thank you! Am trying to understand reserve. I have a business at home and would like to be on reserve on the weekends. I appreciate all the time you guys take to help out these ignorant junior people lol.
how does the last day of reserve work? At my current company they can push me into 7 am on my day off following the last day of reserve. Any quick take on how the final day of the rotation goes?

That's a great thought and all, but there seems to be no limits on what an OOBGS will fly up here, so many times those trips never get broken up. I'd much rather fly inefficient, broken-up, fly out/DH home style trips, but they're just not that normal of a thing outside of ATL.

The legend and lore of "reserve beards" and "sitting reserve from my poolside" from days of yore dies very, very hard. I'm sure someone will roll up in a second and drop an anecdote to the contrary but IMHO you will rarely be at home and able to run a biz while on reserve (767 or below especially) for many years if ever.

IDK anything about your business, but I assume from you saying that there is an expectation that you will be home and able to run it. TBH that assumption is highly unlikely to happen. You will likely be used almost every single day, every single time. The few times you won't be, you'll still have to be ready to drop everything pretty quickly most of the time.

Any flying that touches an X day (off day) will require a 9 hr break (for domestic pilots) followed by 24 hours off for each X day in the block of X days. They generally get you done before your day off, but with staffing limitations, there have been more extensions/reroutes into days off recently.
thank you
