nope, there is no limit. That’s what we want to have, a limit on how many days. I believe you are thinking for either OBR or LC to SC conversions.

Why is it that republic can get away with no ready reserve but we cannot? Limit the amount of times they can convert you? How about abolish ready reserve all together.

agreed. It also doesn’t say we need to be through security. Some hubs have multiple terminals each with their own security - are you supposed to harness quantum mechanics or something to be available to all of them? SFO crew room to DL gates , not gonna happen in 20.

next time you go to check in for a pairing read the fine print in the little red box… you have to be through security to “legally” check in…

Oh I’m well aware of that. But what if I’m in the DL terminal for the UAL callout then I still have to go through a different TSA checkpoint, hence not through security but still “legal”. What’s the point of being through security in one terminal if it’s no faster or worse still even slower than waiting somewhere outside security equidistant that you can pounce on any terminal. Just use common sense. This is all splitting hairs anyway, the chance you only have 20 mins in next to zero.
Obviously not all airports are like SFO. And The ready “pairing” is arguably different than a normal pairing since there is no plane to be at by D-35.

No argument against that, all I did was to try to answer a question from someone who wanted to know if he can legally sit RDY from his house as he is 10min away from the airport and could make a 20min call out.

If I’m in Chicago at high L gates and get an assignment to the high B or C gates there’s no way I’d make a 20min call out?

On ready, just use common sense. I personally wouldn't be at home even if I was 10min away from the airport, but if some people want to play that game, thats on them. You won't get 18 days of ready in a row. I've seen pilots get assigned it 2 days in a row max in my domicile. They just got unlucky with their seniority and bucket availability. You can also predict if you are going to get ready too, so its not a huge surprise when you get it.

Question about bidding for bases in training, do you figure out your assignment early in training or late? Asking because I’m planning a temporary move to base and that would be hard to coordinate with short notice. Also I can see what the junior bases are now, whatre the odds those bases stay junior for the next few months of classes? Obviously hard to tell but is it reasonable to assume places like Denver and Colorado Springs Will still be open for September classes? Thanks!

Hey on the dashboard for the Skywest job portal it has status of job applications and most of my co workers all went to under review while mine says Hidden with some numbers next to it if anyone has any insight thanks?

You'll find out what your bases are towards the end of your training. Short notice unfortunately.
