Reserve Rules
Wondering what Reserve is like at SDF for you guys.
Much angst at the fact FedEx doesn’t have a SC/LC like industry standard at Memphis.
But rather 1.5 notifications bracketed over 12 hour windows splitting the day.
13% of our Reserve lines are also 24 hr notice, often brought in for 2-4 days of HSBY (with per diem paid over the footprint)

RSVA (0000-1159 local)
RSVB (1200-2359 local)
RSVC (1600-0359 local)
RSVD (0400-1559 local), don't think there's any of this in SDF but could be wrong
There are also Blank Reserve lines where the company can basically build a reserve schedule after reserve days drop due to conflict, and Airport/Hot Standby Lines.
On VTO lines, there can be Long Call-Out, where a crewmember is notified between 0800-1400 local with a minimum 16:00 notification prior to report, and there are also a subset of VTO lines called VTOR that can include trips, callout reserve, and standbys (but no LCO).
What kind of "angst" is going on over 'der with regards to reserve?

We also have 1.5 hour notification to be at the airport. The long call out (LCO) can also be assigned multiple trips at once that cover their on call days. We also only sit reserve for Max 14 out of 28 days, unless you get extended. Rarely happens on my fleet and you get paid a little extra if it does. I've won more than I've lost sitting reserve here. Senior guys have noticed that and I can't even touch it now. The VTOR lines can be a mix of everything. For a junior guy like me they are usually a gold mine. For the record, some of the VTOR lines on the bus had LCO built into them this bid period.

VTO lines - a line of time for a pay period which is so identified and published in the bid package without any trips or other duties assigned and with no days off assigned. Such lines will be filled with credit hours dropped due to vacations, training, long term sick/injury leave, leaves of absence, transition conflicts, charters, airport standby, other open time and LCO days. Further, a VTOR line will not contain LCO days, but may include reserve types “A”, “B”, “C”, or “D

FedEx is 15 R days in one of our 28 day bid months and 19 in a 35 day month.
Probably about a fourth to a third of the time I’ve sat out 24 hour call out the companies brought me in for a HSBY
We also have 2 Reserve windows bracketed by the 6’s. (0600-1800) But they’re seldom used currently.
We also tend to have 2-3 Airport Stby folks each day in Memphis. Early assignments on a normal reserve day, and often back filled if used.
Does UPS do anything similar as well?
