Okay, thanks. I saw "international" and that had me concerned. Thanks for the correction.

As has previously been stated, the airport that is an asset of the city of Detroit is DET, not DTW. Big difference!

My understanding, it's two ways of saying the same thing. Yes, being "full" on reserve is reaching/exceeding reserve guarantee. Calling crew scheduling and asking to be shown full is a preemptive way of making sure you don't get a call for the rest of the month. In my case, the 30th and 31st. I still need to be available on the 31st to take calls because I'm on call on August 1st but I cannot be assigned a trip that touches July unless I yellow or green slip.

Hmm. It doesn't say anything about needing to be armed to step out of your airplane there.

Thanks, Denny. Just to kill this dead horse, how about an example. Let's say ALV is 82 hours. So resv guarantee is ALV - 2 = 80 hours. You fly the trips you get and wind up with 82.00 or greater with so many days left on the current month.

So if you don't "call in full" what's the risk? To answer my own question, they call you with a trip or give you a SC by mistake (or some would say by "mistake.") You then either A: answer the call or see it on your schedule and have to deal with correcting the issue, i.e. get out of the trip because you've flown all you were required to fly, B: Ignore it because you know you're done for the month, but then suffer the @** pain of straightening (talking to more people or the CPO) out the confusion/problems that resulted from this mistake, or C: fly the assigned trip because you either didn't know any better or wanted to make some more money.

Or avoid it all and call in full. Is this about right?

I DON'T blame the recipients, but I am done bailing everybody out too. Enough is enough. No more. It is time for personal responsibility, starting with the next person hired. Freeze everything going forward, give them all a 3% payraise and a 401(k). If they then mess it up, not my problem. Sorry.

And the first stop on this train should be the congress of the United States of America.

Agree 100%! You're talking to a Californian who has a neighbor who retired from the CHP at 45 with full disability and makes more each year in pension then I do as a DAL FO flying regular lines. DTW was the largest US city to go BK, CA can't be too far behind.

That was the point I was trying to make earlier, only I guess I wasn't very clear....
