Quick question...if showtime is 5pm and ETD is delayed by more than two hours or really whatever, is the original show/check-in required? Or just be inside security 45min prior to departure? Or a simple call to CS?
Thanks,

Like I said, upgrade into the crj and solve all your problems. Although I predict it wouldn't be long and you will be complaining that you are working too often and can't get the days off you would like.
As far as trip assignments go, sometimes there are things in the big picture that you aren't able to see.
Some of the reserves may not be qualified in one or more of the variants.
Some may have rest/block/FDP restrictions.
Some may have had assignments that made sense at the time, then had a reflow.
There are several other scenarios which can lead to the false conclusion that the trip should have gone to you.
Or, it was supposed to go to you and they assigned it out of order, in which case you should be calling them to ask about it.

Depends...

First off, I would generally not call CS. In some cases they may be happy to push your show time right by six hours, in which case your flow-delayed am day can now legally go past zero-dark-hundred the following morning. Then you get to fight to get paid for fatigue, where if you just timed out the pay is automatic.

If it's the start of the trip, you either have to check-in on time, or arrange with CS for a later show (see above).

If you're at a hub, you probably need to go to the airport or arrange a later show. Even if your plane is late, they might find a spare.

If you're at an outstation, and the plane is not there I generally stay at the hotel and just monitor the inbound. If the plane is actually there but waiting on flow you'd better go in, because flow can be cancelled.

Also in many cases if you call CS, they'll just tell you to show on time unless it would benefit them (ie making you legal to work late). If they tell you to go in, then you have to. Otherwise you can apply common sense.

Some crew are not comfortable staying at the hotel (uptight, probation, just don't want to stress). In that case they are more than welcome to hang out at the airport without me.

Also consider what's best for you...timing out before the day is done, or getting home that night.

Also...don't check in if you're not there, they will consider that lying which is THE cardinal sin at SKW (you'll probably still have a job if you screw up bad, just don't lie about it). I wouldn't check in until I'm physically able to walk to where I need to go. If you get in a fender-bender after checking in, you can't just leave the scene of the accident because you're late for work...

Okay, cool. That all makes sense. I’ll just show up as scheduled then. Thanks for your input on this topic and many others in this forum.

You ERJ or CRJ? Many of us in my class sat reserve for 1 year. That's one year after training. Not including training. Reserve is not fun, the things they do don't make sense. They make up rules. Your best bet is just keep your head down and wait for a line. Get any flying you can. But you will go crazy trying to get answers to these questions. Hopefully they implement that reserve proffering stuff they announced months ago, but knowing SKW it was just pillow talk and will take a year before it goes into action on Sked+
