HI Bizjet I see you have just been through training and I too have had a lot of character building . . . wondered how things were with training for you and the sims as well, PM me if you can and are willing. Thanks.

Anyone know how to anticipate if you'll get called out on short call reserve?
Example, The reserve grid shows 16 on reserve, 1 open duty period and 15 net reserves .... I assume one pilot gets called? How do they decide the order who gets called first? Seniority? Just trying stay ahead of it and get a handle on it if possible... looking at a month of SCR��

based on seniority and whether you asked for first or last out.

lol, JayBee that's some funny stuff right there.

In truth, I don't think anyone even knows, including scheduling. There are changes we'd love to see to the process, that's for sure. If you're going to be a new FO and willing to go to one of the bases with quick times to Round 1, it won't be much of a big deal for you. Just grin and bear it.

Now, the Street Captains that came here a year ago and are still on reserve, they might have different advice for you.

PSA Helps.
Ok on the new thread now! I appreciate it. Also it looks like the charts posted by Tall Flyer are looking better and better for shorter reserve time. I am still looking at TYS since close to home, even if upgrade time a little longer.

This^ . It's all random. Talking to CS is like one big casino game. The house wins most of the time. What maybe true at 8 am may not be by noon. In fact, depending on who you talk to the outcome might be different.

Don't forget that the 1 open duty period isn't going to stay the same all day. Yes 1 reserve will get called for that, but several other pilots could call in sick the day of requiring reserves, there could be a mechanical issue requiring a ferry or repo flight, or due to mechanical/wx/whatever a crew could be delayed and to minimize downline delays they may use a reserve crew to pick up their schedule. Lots and lots of different situations require them to call reserves outside of open duty periods shown on flica.

I spent my first year in TYS, and moved there. Great crews. No Hot Reserve in TYS, so short call is a one hour call out. You can go from the parking lot to the gate in about 10-15 minutes, so if you live in the area it's your easiest option.

PM if you have any more questions or need a referral.
