Yes, enjoy it. Your duty day just started at midnight and you turn into a pumpkin at 1400, pretty much.

Essentially you are on long call. They may think you are on RAP1 and call you for a trip. Just tell them you haven't been assigned a RAP yet and you need ten hours of rest.

In my case, they “assigned” me the late standby shift. My guess is they were going to call me by 0500 to confirm it???

In these cases we aren't screwing the company just the next guy on the seniority list. I wouldn't do it if it's going to cause a commuter to sit S3 on his last day.

A few pages back there were posts re: reserve proffering when scheduled for S3 .
How does it work if you proffer for S1/S2/Trip etcetera? If your seniority can hold the assignment, and you have not been used on S3 by 5p...are you released once you confirm via AVRs?
Thanks!

The contract is clear on this one, BTW. If you’re not going to read the contract, I’d sudjest not trying to play these kind of games. You’ll get a MA because nameless people in forums, like me, will give you answers that aren’t exactly correct or poorly explained. Just FYI.

Being released via confirmation of a flight assignement only works if you’re on a RAP. You cannot simply be released by confirmation of next day assignement if you’re doing Standby today.

Thank you for the info - I have read the contract, and in particular the reserve section many times. I agree that my question made it seem as if I was planning on just walking out of the airport once confirmed via AVRS, but that was never my intent. I was more curious if CS would even award a proffer for an AM trip/S1 if one is currently sitting S2. The contract is not clear on this situation, and frankly I was asking what happens predominately in practice.
Thanks!
Thanks!
