Ready Reserve lines are 72hr guarantee, have 11 days off per month, and you sit Ready Reserve for 4-5 days at a time for the whole month. If the ready reserve lineholder is sent out on a trip they call in a regular reserve pilot to sit for an 8-hour shift.
I think this is one of the weakest parts of the Eagle contract, sometimes we have multiple Ready Reserve pilots sitting at the airport on overlapping 8hr shifts.

We do not have all three ready reserve shifts at all bases
you have 15 minutes to return a phone message from CS
If they send you on an out of base trip, they have to release you and send you back to your base if you pass though the other base and a reserve at that base is now available.... they will violate this one all day long unless you watch them.
They have to give you ten hours off in base between trips/assignments... they will only schedule 8 hours unless you call and tell them you want all ten.
On a RAP, you have 2 hours to sign in at base; and from that point on you have 45 minutes to have breakfast, or whatever, and make your way to the airplane. End result, 2:45 from call out, to airplane.

No credit for sitting HOT or regular reserve.

I feel for ya!I remember at XJT it was 5 hours long, you couldn't have it two days in a row, it couldn't be on your last day of a reserve sit, and no more than 6 times in a month.
I haven't even thought about that contract in 3 months or so and I can still rattle off reserve rules. Isn't that sad?
