So they put NTY on your flica, and if you go to crewtrac, you can right click and view comments and see the trip. This way they "save" the trip for you and you can see what you're gonna get, without actually being notified.

First Year FO reserves
ACY guy here (18 months reserve experience) 50/50 knowing your reserve assignment the day prior vs the 3 am wake up call from Miramar or the van leaves in 3 hours short call.
Seems to vary base to base and CA seat/FO seat.

Don't forget also to suggest running APU bleed to reduce the EPR on the engines resulting in lower brake temps. It's a minute difference but some captains insist on it, so it must make a difference.
