On reserve we are required to return their call within 20 minutes. All reserves have a 1.5 hour call out to show at the crew room although most of the time they give us longer. Of course experiences may differ. Line holders have no obligation to return calls during a trip. They want to change that with the new and improved work rules Baxter alluded to.

@Vagabond....that's why I said "better," they weren't better they were just closer to industry standard of what other regional airlines already have in place. But RAH chose current book which was actually better than the proposed new work rules. Sorry for the confusion....just saying RAH in a 7 year expired contract still has some work rules that are great the way they are.

That is the long standing belief. And there are arguments against that. RAH turned down a substantial pay raise for FOs granted it was minimal for most CAs and new "better" work rules to remain on the current book. I still don't know of a place where you are never required to answer a call from the company...ever, as weird as that is. The most frustrating thing about RAH is they are so close to being a great place to work. Maybe that will happen with a new contract in ~10 years and get morale back where it was 6 or so years ago.

The 20 min rule, is a little non-std. I know ExpressJet gives you a 2 hr window to report. Lineholders aren't given phones or pagers, so there is no way to contact us--though they have tried through hotel phone calls.
They also tried to push through reassignment via ACARS, lineholders included.
