You wait until it is assigned to a reserve then at 5pm call and tell crew schedule you want to “appropiate” whatever trip it is. This will give YOU the OT premium and whoever is on reserve will go back to reserve.
I am putting this out there just in general so people get an idea of how it works.

I have appropriated a few trips myself in the past. I see people trying to pick up OT for the next day using the automated system, FYI this won’t work.

I recommend a PM through the appropriate facebook group.

Hold on sparky... let's try to keep the reserve guy in mind. I am all for appropriating flying for more OT. But don't call at 5pm. If the dude has proffered for a trip with a 6pm show on day 1 so that he can commute in, but you appropriate it before he can confirm, then he gets sent back to his default RAP 1 with no way of getting to work on time. It would be nice to at least give him a heads up to confirm before you call so that he can keep his show time and then get his cancellation hotel.

I do think a reserve guy, if he wants that late PM show time to stick, should call in to AVRS so that there is no hold time on the line. If you call to appropriate, even if you call right on the 5pm time... you will hold. It's been a while since I was on reserve but I don't remember having to hold on the automated AVRS line.
ALSO, you can have yourself listed on the reserve turnback list to keep yourself from being removed. You can also remove yourself from said list at any time, including right before you depart. This falls under the most misunderstood part of our contract I referenced earlier.

I do wish this was possible. Not everyone is on facebook though.

Frankly, I wish the turnback list never existed. It keeps people from making money while the reserve flies for free. I understand commuters feel they need to use it to protect their hotel, but they shouldn't. Also, in the above situation, I don't believe the turnback list will save the late show if the reserve hasn't confirmed. I'll have to try it out next month when I am back on reserve.
We need to develop some courtesies to be used among each other. It's a shame that we are conditioned to use a system that has us acting like people of Walmart scrapping over the last pack of toilet paper. There's got to be a better way.
