When am I full (done) on reserve?
 

When am I full on reserve? I'm at 66 hours now with a 5 day block next week. Is full ALV or RES Guarantee? Can they give me a 4 day that would take me over ALV? Can I assume that last day is going to be free?

You are full, i.e., no longer on reserve, once you have reached your guarantee. So long as you have not reached your guarantee, you may be assigned flying up to ALV +15.

Fellas,

I've got CQ next month and see a different name on my schedule for the training hotel.

Is it just a name change, or have we changed hotels?

There is only the Staffing Formula, which requires a minimum number of pilots per position, not category. Reserve Required, on the other hand, goes by category.

Therein lies the rub -- while the Company is required to have a minimum number of pilots system wide in a position, there is no requirement to balance the flying in a position out among the bases in the same proportion as the pilots in those bases. From what I've seen, when a category has enough pilots to satisfy the Staffing Formula, there are more reserves available than required throughout the month. When a category does not, there are also insufficient reserves.

I think there may be a calculation issue at play- NYC 320B has several days where it shows as low as zero res available on days where there is zero open time but if you count the guys awarded/unstacked reserve on those days there are over ten. - no one has been able to drop or move yet so the available should at least aporoximate the awards.

I'm planning a follow up call to Scheds/ union tomorrow.

Did the Open Time trip you were trying to pick up have a Q next to it?

Nothing there...

There are now three training hotels: Deltanet - Flight Operations - 757/767 - training - Hotel Information & Booking Flights

Hey buds,

Can someone PM me or direct me to a source for shadow bidding?

Thanks!!
