IF we define it, no way should we agree to anything less than 4. And that should be to report, not to the gate.

While I do enjoy the RR pay, that wasn’t the point. The point was to reduce RR because we were tired of the company treating us like airport standby.

Yup. Don't fix the things that aren't broke. It works fine for me so save that capital for better things......2hrs. min for all SCs.

Yes. My thought. If I'm taking train or cab, curbside at airport is there on time just like after trip starts.

If I drive, If I'm in the bus stop at employee lot at report (or say the first scheduled pickup before) I made it.

Camp Creek (ATL) running an hour lot to A19 and I'm at C1? Company problem.
Busses scheduled on the 1/4 hour (JFK) going every 30 because of staffing? Company problem.
KCM/TSA backed up? Again I was curbside at report.

As long as the language pertaining to covering multiple airports in a base doesn't change, this would not be an issue. You would only have to be within 3 hours of the closest.

I would like to see an update to SC minimum times from assignment to report for DH flights. For example assignment to report for SC DH flight must be at least 2 hours.

Couple of instances on the FB scheduling page of very quick SC assignments to DH flights near the end of the SC RAP. For example a 1200-1800 SC, notified at 1750 for a report of 1751 for a DH. Obviously can't make it, but still "legal." Once at the airport and the DH is gone scheduling reroutes to a later DH (which I'm sure was the plan all along).

I think you all are talking past each other. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since notEnuf is a RES enjoyer, he was mentioning he would rather negotiate to have 2 hours pay/no credit if he stands short call, used or unused. (instead of the current 1 hour SCC, but only paid when not used). [This would be a nice improvement, imho]

That could be a possible 12 hours extra pay in a RES month! (if they got you for all 6 SCs)

I didn't interpret it to mean that he wants to negotiate for a hard 2-hour callout for SC, instead of leaving it as currently defined. That's bananas.

I might be way off, flame away.

Still fuzzy on some 30 hr rest nuances. Scheduling placed 6 hrs of rest (ie 07 Oct 1800 - 08 Oct 0000) prior to a day of the PD I guess to make it a 30 hr rest period. Is there supposed to be some kind of notification? And is it supposed to be designated specifically as 30 hrs since the Rest appears as a 6 hr block + 24 hrs off.

Also can they remove that 6 hrs or rest off my schedule if they subsequently decide to use me on a rotation that releases after 1800?

Thanks!

It is multiple points, that is true. I am a reserve guy about 11/12 months a year and I would be fine with not changing the promptly available definition as well as increasing the unused SCC from 1 hr to something higher (especially if still used). My point about the DH period is to prevent the company from essentially assigning an airport standby SC person, without the pay of the VAS. Once you report for your FDP and that DH is gone you are on the hook until your FDP expires, they reassign/reroute you, or release you. Just trying to prevent that cluster from happening.
