Hot Reserve
Just a question to what your Hot Reserve or Airport Reserve schedules are like at various airlines.
At PSA...
10 hrs at a time. Either 5am - 3pm or 2pm - Midnight.
No more than 3 days in a row.
No monthly max.
Reserve is paid 72hrs/month.
No credit for sitting HOT or regular reserve.

At Eagle we have 3 shifts per day of ready reserve. They vary by base, but are generally:
0530-1330
1100-1900
1400-2200
Ready Reserve lines are 75hr 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.

Amazingly we are not the worst in this regard. 8 hour shifts, 4 hours credit, no limit per bid period, and reserve lines are worth 76 hours per bid, and you get 9 days off out of the 28 day bid period. The best part is that there are just reserve lines. You do not get to find out if you have ready (airport) reserve or regular reserve until the day before at 3 PM. nice...........

Pinnacle's ready reserve (hot reserve) sucks as well. 9 hour shifts. Hours vary by base. You only get your 3.75 hr rsv credit and no per diem unless you get a trip. No limit on amount of days you can sit in a month, can get stuck with up to 6 days in a row of it. Have heard of some guys getting shafted by having up to 17 days a month of that crap. Pure abuse.

Mesaba -
8 hour shifts, no more than 3 in a row and 10 in a month. Times vary per base. Perdiem while getting to know the airport and they pay at our 4 hour min day. Anything flown on reserve goes above your 4 hour daily credit and goes towards the monthly guarantee like any other reserve flying. 75 hour guarantee for reserves and 11 days off. They only use the clause if staffing is sufficient. The most junior pilot on reserve not flying that day is the lucky soldier.
