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.

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.

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.

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

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.
