One major gotcha: A TRV (traditional reserve) or an LCL (long call line) reserve on long call has an 18 hour min call out time for a trip, while a VEC pilot has 12 hours. This means that, if there is an open trip that shows at 0700 on Monday, for example, the last moment crew scheduling can assign anyone on long call to this trip is 1300 on Sunday; unless they have someone with a VEC line, in which case they have until 1900. There are trips that become open every day between 1300 and 1900, and Crew Scheduling is required in that case to assign it to a VEC pilot, regardless of silo.
This is how I came to have been working five of the last six days 😞

No, once a reserve stretch has started, any open trip will first be assigned to a LCL or TRV in silo before a VEC gets it, while any open SC period will first be assigned to a VEC or VSC in silo, if available. But the big difference is the call out time, as I described above, which is applicable for your entire reserve block.

Thanks...
I thought that window was only applied to your last day off before the block. The 1900 notification for a 7 am show example every day would be a meat grinder, and essentially limit the VEC to folks in base or with a very easy commute.

if you don’t live in base, VEC is not for you.
