That sounds like reserve at a regional, sorry guys...

That’s on the 747. The 767 is completely different bag of goods. You only have off on 1/7. Any other time that the company can legally have you on the hook, you’ll be on reserve. Most often that is AIRPORT RESERVE. Crews are tired, 1 fatigue call or sick call is all the justification scheduling needs to remove you from your line. Once that happens, it’s just an unorganized free for all.

Are R1’s really that common on either fleet? Are they usually the max 12 hours long?

I've never had one on the 74. However I've heard they can exist for certain customers during peak flying. Every single reserve I've ever had, has been sitting in a nice hotel somewhere, paid by the company.

Agreed.... The best is when they automatically just turn all “layover day” into R1s.

R1 is extremely common. Was told that we are required by DHL to have crews on R1 status.
