Would you get the 3.7 hrs over guarentee if you flew the 72hrs first? Or is it like PSA you can fly 72hrs and work 4 days Hot Reserve but only get paid for the 72?

Forgot to mention PSA get paid per diem of $1.40/hr on Hot reserve. Taxable.

ASA, no more than 6 in a month, 4 hrs pay. Times vary by scheduling's whim. Assigned to the pilot with the most days of reserve and with the lowest credit hours to the month, or so they say.

Quote: 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 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.
You forgot my favorite shift at ORD, 1900-2400. But since the last flight leaves at 2200 you end up working only 3 hrs if you don't get called out. As a line it sucked but every now and then it's fun to eat up a reserve day.

I couldn't stand RR, even at Comair where it appears we had it pretty good. Let's see 4:20 credit for 6 hours of work hmmm. I don't know how some of you other guys put up with it. Scheduling shouldn't make me waste my time just so you have the proper 'staffing levels'. I know not breaking any new ground here, ugh I definately don't miss that along with a lot of other stuff.

At RAH:

Standard reserve blocks are at 12 hours and paid at 4 hours (if called) or block/or better whichever is higher. We can be used up to 16 hours at the start of our reserve period, but required to work no more than 14 hours. Call out, must call back within 20 min, and total time from call to show is 1 hr 30 mins

Hot Reserve (which we don't use but is in the contract) 5 hours of pay in 10 hour blocks, same 5 hours min, block/or better whichever is higher. Max utilization from the start of hot reserve is 14 hours. Per Diem is paid for hot.

Quote: 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.
Eagle
8 hour shift
S-1 = 530am-130pm
S-2 = 11am-7pm
S-3 = 2pm - 10pm
Not every base has an S-2 shift
They are awared as monthly lines
75 hours pay
3.45 value for the day
11 days off
can have six days straight, but mostly it's blocks of 4 or 5

If you fly over 75 hours you get overtime pay
If you fly on your days off you get overtime pay

GoJet just started doing ready reserve again after about a year hiatus.
70hr guarantee, 4 hrs credit minimum per day on reserve, 5 hours + per diem on ready reserve. Two shifts, 0500-1200 and 1200-2200, but they usually let the reserves go after the last flight, around 2000. 10-11 days off, usually reserves only do one day a week, or less depending on seniority, of ready reserve. Flying on days off gets 1.5x pay.

You've heard wrong. They have 8, 10, or 12 hours hot reserve shifts, and they do get paid for hot reserve.

9E min guarantee = 75 hours. There is no pay credit for ready reserve. If you sit 20 days @ 9 hours a day, it's your loss. There is no per diem unless they use you for a trip. And since I haven't had to deal with it, I can almost guarantee that 9E would not want to pay per diem for the day ready reserve in addition to the flying.
