It got resolved when the FAA said your duty period doesn't end on reserve until the company says they have no more plans for you. That's why you now see FDP on the end. Original interpretation was when you finished your assigned trip on reserve you were done. Then they stated added the Ready because that is part of an FDP.

Except "fdp" isn't ready reserve. It's non specific duty assigned for the amount of hours you are still good for on your fdp clock with a 90 minute callout.

So lets say i'm done with a trip, but have 30 minutes of FDP left, they can technically call you during that time and you would be expected to be back at the airport within 90 minutes to do a flight?

Correct. If it read that way in my statement. Sorry for the confusion.

Lots of guys must have been holding out until after the holidays and/or wanted to go straight into holding a line.

Funny I see JM on the award, thought they weren't letting him upgrade.

Not to air out our dirty laundry but that guy is missing a few screws.

Tells me he's a captain as he's sitting in the crew room in an FO's uniform, heard he's been known to tell other people he's an undercover agent for the FBI.
If the senior pilots were holding out for the January class date (to avoid training over the holidays), then I would think on the next award it should go even more junior.

You've got to look at the master bid sheet and see how many of those senior PHX FOs, and displaced CLT FOs have changed their bid to IAH E75 CA.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Feb award goes senior again before it gets back into 2013 hires.

This also depends on whether they finally run some upgrades on the CRJ. On the last bid, EJet would've gone about 5-6 spots further down the list if there had been IAD/DFW/PHX CRJ upgrades.

They can call you whenever. You do not have to answer on FDP. Unless you want to.

FDP is regular reserve. Telling new hires this is a good way to get them a visit to the CP office.
