I start reserve tomorrow. What do I have to do?
The company can typically assign you duty reporting as early as 0500 on your first on-call day. If the assignment is a rotation that reports prior to 1200 or a short call period that begins prior to 1000, they must put that on your schedule NLT 1500 on your last non-fly day. You must check your schedule
some time after 1500 and before 0200 the following morning, and acknowledge the assignment NLT 3 hours prior to reporting for a rotation and NLT 1 hour prior to beginning short call.

Please note that the term “non-fly day” in this case does NOT include days of vacation, training, travel to/from training, or company business, or days in which you perform or are scheduled to perform flying for the company, are removed from your rotation for company convenience, or perform an SLI duty period.

If your last non-fly day is a vacation day or one of the other exceptions listed above, you do not need to check your schedule. You simply go onto your 12-hour long call leash at 0001.

Also the PWA says it in: 23.S.1.D.2.B.A that you don't have to check.

And PWA 23.S.2.A.5 says: A reserve pilot will not be assigned a rotation that has a report earlier than 1200 (base time) if the non-fly day that preceded the on-call day was a vacation day.
Thanks FTB! We're hanging with Mickey, Goofy and Donald so the info is very much appreciated. I'll happily fly a rotation later in the day but having some time to shift gears would be nice.

I'll be the best airport salesman ever!




Hello there Mr. Frequent Flyer guy, can I interest you in this unbelievably awesome plastic thing you can use to buy stuff? I've got some credit problems myself so I can't have one, but you don't look very shifty to me so I'm sure you'll be OK.

Hey wait, where you going? Did I ever tell you about the time I caddied for the Dalai Lama?

Carl

No shizzle. Its bloody. Double CONUS DH's to cover NYC trips, scant reserve coverage, even the schedulers feel ****ty when they call. That's why I'm doing my homework. "Hello Robert, we have this sweet rotation for you tomorrow morning with a 0500 sign in at Orange County. We know your on vacation but please acknowledge."
