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.

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)

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.
