Is this correct or a glitch?
I think it just reduces your reserve guarantee amount required to be full.

Sitting reserve in Nov for first time in a while. Going reg to resv and LC on the first day of the month, what time is the earliest I could get a trip?
I see the PWA ref to 10 hrs after end of no fly day if it’s on my schedule 12 hours prior but am not sure if that applies when going reg to Rsv on the first day of the month.

1800 Georgia Mean Time is the earliest assignment.

On a REG day off in the previous month you have no obligation to check your schedule. For you, reserve 18 hr leash starts at midnight.

It would be 1800 base time, not Georgia time.

Be aware, they WILL go fishing. Any attempt to contact you before 0001 on your first day of reserve or attempt to get you to ACK a CNO for a trip assignment is a trap. Don't fall into it.

This is so true. Half of my energy on reserve is devoted to determining if what scheduling has done is contractually legal. Don't answer the phone or look at MiCrew/iCrew at all if you are not in a contactable status. Make yourself aware of rotations electronically placed on your schedule no later than 12 hours prior to the end of your non-fly day (except vacation) and don't check again.

I think technically the XX day ends at 2359 and then LC res starts at 0000, which is why earliest report is 1800, not 1801.

But agreed they will go fishing on the last day of REG

Default Reserve/GS question

Hi I am below the GS trigger (PD'd a few days) and on reserve. Is there any reason (pay wise) to proffer for a trip that would otherwise meet GS criteria .. in this case reporting <10 AM on the first day of reserve block? I believe no reserves are otherwise available for that trip.
