Pilots have to have 30 hours of prospective rest before a RAP or FDP.

Aren’t max LC days 17 though? How did he SCC on more days than he had LC?

Thanks!
That's a possible reason. At least in my experience, though, if I got a SC all the time with 4 days of availability then I'd get used more often than not, and wouldn't end up getting more than 6 SCs most months.

For short call periods in reserve open time (i.e, for YS'ing):
"For example, if an available short call period is marked as “three-day pilot,” only a pilot with three days of availability is eligible to be awarded that short call period."
I actually wonder if the trend from open-time 4-day bucket SC's to 2-day bucket SC's was to prevent people from rolling their LC days (move X days) to keep themselves in the 4 day bucket and continuosly YS SC open time. By the 2-day bucket, it's past the 72-hour window to move X-days to stretch your LC days out (can't keep yourself in the 2-day bucket to keep YS'ing SC's.)

I was wondering the same thing. When I occasionally sit RSV I'll sometimes check to see if the additional days of RSV are being offered and I've never seen even one day, so doing multiple extra days in one month seems unlikely, but maybe some fleets are different.

As a local, I don’t mind it one bit, but it genuine sucks for commuters.

I don't get the strategy because you are continuously making yourself more available for a longer duration. An hour of SC credit IF unused doesn't seem worth it to me. I know... we all have variances to our game and the variety here is amazing. Glad to have all the choices. (except the choice to commute so my airline is infantly smaller than yall's)

While technically true, I think the greater point is that somewhere between 2 and 10 of those SC’s are superfluous. They could very, very likely accomplish the exact same thing with (literally) half the people on SC.

But the fact remains that if the company thinks it will save them money, they’d gladly put every reserve pilot on short call
