But but but....You have a choice to not be on reserve you say? Not always the case Skippy! You are never more than one economic down turn away from having to commute reserve if you're on the bottom half of the seniority list. Don't mistake the current airline environment for the reality of what this job can become. And it happens with surprising rapidity when the axe starts to fall!

The real issue is the airline pulling the flying out of IAH B756 and pulling the rug out from the entire base. You don't know what to believe, the fleet plan, the monthly plan, the ...fill in the blank. So many high quality trips have left IAH. Do they come back with Houston economy and energy sector coming back? How about Houston-Paris? Smizek killed that for really no-good-reason.
I wonder what Smizek is up to these days...........Now that's a thread drift.

As a new hire, I was on reserve for 4 months. As a B756 Captain, 5 years later still on reserve.

That's a bummer about IAH! The 756 flying in DEN is awesome!

Another reserve question and making sure I'm reading the contract right.
Your first day of Reserve in on long-call with a starting report time of 1000 unless you get notified and acknowledge the change by 1500 the day prior.
Correct?

1000 is the earliest assignment start time to show for a trip or FSB or to be on telephone SC. If no assignment was on the schedule at 1800 on the last day off then long call telephone availability begins at 0001.
