Jack sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean, so between the two of them, they licked the platter clean.

Deadhead, I know you arent a pilot. A pilot would have posted a youtube of her dirty dancing.

Sorry Scambo, but as committed as I am to the betterment of this forum community I still must decline and keep the private collection, or "The Reserve" as I like to call it, private.

That is not correct. You were finished when you were within 4:15 (min day) of the monthly max. Pre-BK, the monthly max was normally 80 hours, so you would be done when you got to 75:46 for the month. The company had a limited abilility to flex above 80 in a given month (up to 84, if I remember correctly). You would then have to be within 4:15 of the higher monthly max, but the reserve guarantee also increased above 75 hours.

After BK, the reserve max was set at 88 hours, so you had to fly to 83:46 to be done for the month.

Not exactly...

You were required to advise Crew Skeds that you did NOT want to fly HIT (to the extent your Bank could allow) prior to the end of the duty period that projected you over the cap. Remember, the cap varied, so the "trigger" varied.

The default mode was for a Reserve to over-fly.

When it get downs to it, who cares.

I think you are confusing a few different items.

If you overflew the monthly max as a blockholder, you had a specific time window in which to notify scheduling that you would not accept HIT and then they would downward adjust your schedule to keep you under the max. if you did not contact them, then the default was to accept HIT.

For reserves, you could decline HIT at anytime. If you wanted to be removed from Reserve status for the reminder of the month, you did have to notify them or they would call to see if you would accept a HIT trip. You were under no obligation to accept a HIT assigment.
