The contract is not clear on this situation, and frankly I was asking what happens predominately in practice.

Thanks!

Sorry if sounded harsh but, yeah, it did sound like you were making plans on getting out of Standby early. Felt, I needed to drive the point home. ;-)

They usually skip you and award your early start to the next guy if your current RAP makes you illegal.

Are there any restrictions to appropriating open time out of base?

Nope. Same as in base.

No restrictions but you are lower priority than ppl who try to pick it up in base.

He is asking about reserve appropriation. It's still first come first serve so there is no seniority system involved.

Please remember that when appropriating reserve flying proper etiquette is to contact the other pilot first. There's no contractual obligation to do so but it's generally regarded as a jerk move to not ask permission first.

I'm guessing you haven't spent a lot of time on reserve.

Letter 13-13 doesn't offer a lot of protections for the pilot the flying has been appropriated from. There are several ways a pilot can get screwed under B.2.b with nothing they can do about it. And let's not pretend like preventing appropriation by signing yourself up for more abuse on the turnback list is a viable option for a lot of guys.

Reserve is bad enough here already. There's no need for us to make it harder on our fellow pilots just because you're looking for a few extra hours of pay or flight time.

I don't see how appropriating screws the other pilot. I'm on reserve and a commuter and I wouldnt mind if someone appropriated some flying from me while on reserve. If someone did I still get the hotels in base without it effecting my commuter hotels and my sign in time will still have to be the same if CS decided to give me RAP for that day instead. I think a call is a little over the top. I probably wouldn't even answer my phone.
