What I hate is the 23:59:01 phone call for a 0845 report and then trying to go back to sleep until 6.

I agree, it's not ideal but my experience has been 0000 call or no call. 6 hours is all I ever get in a hotel anyway. YMMV

Hello fellow reserve lovers. I got a greenie that starts on my last oncall day around 1600. My timecard is giving me the full value of the greenslip and not just the x days. Is this normal? Should i expect an audit and retraction of pay fir the oncall day?
Thanks

For instance, you’re coming off of vacation and can’t be used before 1800…but they want you to fly a green slip reporting at 1755, which could be even 30 hours after the ARCOS notification. As long as this is coded properly as F#X, you will get pay/no credit (which means pay above guarantee) for the first duty period.

I sit SC in bed at home (NJ, but sub 2 hours to JFK ain't happening during rush hour) and just dont like the timing of 2359 SC. Report ASAP at midnight for a 9 hour VEN? Hope you went to bed by 5pm.

Of course tonight I'm in bed by 8pm because I gotta get up at 3 for a 5am jfk report.

Can someone please explain why these periods start at 23:59 and not 00:00? Is there some tactical advantage to this? Sorry, I missed the memo.

In the case of the short call PCS run that occurs no earlier than 1100E everyday. 23:59 is the end of a calendar day, 00:00 is the beginning of the next calendar day. Short calls can only be assigned “next day,” so 23:59 is next day, 00:00 is second day.
