I have learned that the hard way.

this is usually a problem for early morning callouts that are right at the 12 hour mark. A 7pm callout is often too late for night flights and there may not be early enough flights in the morning to make show time.

So ALV could be 74, RES guarantee is 72. If you are at 71:59, you are hot for rotation assignment....72:01, you are FULL.

I'm waiting on a class date so I don't have access to any of the official resources.
Is it possible for me to "stack" reserve days so I can limit my commute to twice a month? At my current job I work 8 day trips and the idea of being able to put together 2 blocks of 8 or 9 days each is appealing. If so, is it realistic for a junior reserve to pull that off? I wouldn't care too much about which days they are. I've been away from 121 for about 3 years and at my last airline, I think it was a 6 days.

Edit: you have to be senior enough to hold the days off that you want to do this. But in a junior category it shouldn't take long (aside from holidays etc.)
