FAA: On Call = On Duty
Interesting article from Aviation Week about reserve rest rules.
"The FAA has once again issued a legal interpretation explaining that an “on call” pilot can’t count as rest all of the time that a call never came. ...."

That would certainly improve our reserve rules. I was disappointed to see that the rules here were worse than a regional I previously worked for.
Now if they'd only put new-hires into the 756 fleet again life would be much better!

Careful what you wish for. 756 reserve is international, so all days off are moveable except your block of 6 holy days. Domestic reserve they can only move 1

The bold statement above is absolutely false. In fact, it's just silly. Your SC RAP starts as determined by Crew Scheduling. Once assigned a trip, your FDP and time spent in the RAP cannot exceed:
The lesser of Table B plus 4 hours or 16 hours measured from the beginning of the RAP. (non-augmented)
Table C plus 4 hours, measured from the beginning of the RAP. (augmented)
FOM 1.50.2
UAL has never started your duty day at assigned trip report time for short calls. In fact, before FAR 117 and our new contract, the domestic limit was 14 hours from the beginning of the RAP, waivable of course.
