Reserve rules

And also I'm with you on mobile FOS for a CYA. What I've heard is that they can only see you logged into CCI, not what you actually looked at. So just in case I use the old system.

For my years of reserve I religiously checked and screenshotted my HI3 within seconds of blocking in. Quite a few times my phone would blow up minutes later, but I was already released. From those voicemails I could tell Scheduling wanted me to think I had to call them back, but they never threw the PG at me for that (considering how often they PG'ed me for other inane reasons, that means they knew I checked the HI3 and that I was free).

I think it used to be in the contract that we had to call them within 15 minutes after block in to be released. That was a long time ago though so my memory may be off.

You are correct about our pre-bankruptcy contract. Also I believe the 15 minute rule still applies to FAs.

Of course Scheduling once told me that OSO meant they could call in as many RAPs to sit ready reserves as they want, quiet room space or not. I asked them for a contract quote and they hung up on me. They already lie and make up rules all the time, they probably think that OSO means there is no contract.

The contract reads, "...may be scheduled to complete the remainder of his ready reserve assignment upon completion of the the flight assignment."
Where does it say I must call EVERY time to get released from my RR shift?

Section 12 F. Ready Reserve 3. Paraphrase... Sit 8 hours and not used to fly then you will be released upon contacting crew scheduling.

YES, good point. Checking HI3/6 has to come after the airplane is in.

It was suggested I move this post here.
Can I call crew scheduling before I go to bed instead of having them wake me at midnight to confirm my assignment?
Also, my IOE captain mentioned that they prefer to keep someone flying and to call CS to additional flying before I time out. Should I call and say "I want to keep flying" or "I want to keep flying and I see X trip in open time." What should I be doing?

Yes you can contact CS to add flying onto your sequence. And yes you can volunteer for the turn back list. Just be nice and tell them you are a commuter and you want to get some over nights and ask if anything is available or could be coming up.
Also, for commuters- Call when you are on your way to the airport. Tell them "I am commuting in from XXX and looking to see if you have any open trips I could pick up since I'm on reserve. I should be here by this time and if something is open I would like to pick it up." They may say check back when you land to see if we have anything for you.
