Otherwise known as "Airport Appreciation". You spend your reserve duty at the airport, usually hanging out in the crew lounge watching the paint on the walls dry.

I know what it is. We don't have it at my airline... and in fact when I was at 9E they didn't utilize it except for a couple of my months there.

Color me lucky.

They hadn't gotten around to abusing that part of the contract yet...

Mesa used to (and perhaps still does) absolutely abuse reserves by assigning them to 12 hour ready reserve shifts with eight days off a month. Nice huh?

Comair:

Ready reserves are 6 hours long.

Max 2 in a row.

Max 6 in a month.

Can only be assigned in domicile.

No seniority on RR (They give assignments out based on who's about to finish, not who's junior)

4:20 credit toward monthly guarantee.

A RR that becomes a 4-hour trip will still only pay 4:20.

A RR assigned at the end of a trip pays 4:20 in addition to the daily credit for that trip.

Start of RR also starts the 13:30 max scheduled duty period.

Pilots with more than 22 years or less than 3 years don't need to worry about RR (They're either furloughed or lineholders)

PSA

10 hrs of ready reserve/day.
NO PAY/NO CREDIT/FREEE RESERVES
3 times in a row max
No monthly max
Either 5am-3pm or 2pm-midnight.
They can call a regular reserve out at say 10am and have them sit at the airport for 10 hrs. Up to 14hrs duty/day.
You can be DHed out of base to sit hot elsewhere.

Wow, its amazing the spread here....

On one end you have airlines with 4 hour shifts paying 4 hours, max 6 a month.

On the other end, you have airlines with 8-10 hour shifts, unlimited times per month, and no pay whatsoever.

Nobody should accept a new contract that has anything less than rules similar to the best of regionals. This is an area where some need to really come up to the bar.

Just curious, but which MOU/LOA are you reading that part in? It's not in the updated contract as such.
