Question for you:
There is a 4 day trip starting on Saturday and I have 5 days on reserve at that point. But the trip starts after my window closes.
So will they move my window or give it to the guy who has 6 days available and the trip starts within his window??

Well, it should be in seniority order, reserve window and then days available. I'm assuming you are taking about the trip on the 22nd. They might give it to a long call guy. ftrpilot can probably answer it a lot better. I haven't seen him post on here in a while. ftrpilot check your PMs!

I wonder why the hell I am sitting ready reserve when they keep bypassing me (over 60 hrs.) left and right. They even delayed a flight so they can use another reservist. But they don't mind calling me at the butt crack of dawn to give me a 90 minute callout to come sit ready. They did the same crap to me yesterday ... Thank god I have a line next month. So, when was that JetBlue open house again?

For all you guys on reserve! Be careful when they schedule your ready reserves. I was just having some discussions with some other pilots. Look's like I've been given (and lots of others) a bunch of illegal assignments last month. If you are on L1 or L2, you cannot do a 3 a.m. ready reserve. Your ready reserve has to fall within your 14 hr. reserve window.
Straight from the contract:
b. A Ready Reserve period will not be scheduled to exceed six (6) hours and will be scheduled
within the fourteen (14) hour reserve period.
d. A pilot on LC1 will be subject to the same rules as a SC reserve pilot except as follows:
(1) An assignment awarded to a LC1 reserve pilot will not have a report requirement
earlier than nine (9) hours from the time the LC1 reserve pilot is notified of the
assignment. This nine (9) hour period will be utilized as a required rest period prior
to a LC1 reserve pilot reporting for duty.
(2) Between the hours of 1400 and 1600 hours the day before a single, or group of,
reserve days, a LC1 reserve pilot will contact the Company, one time, for an
assignment.
(3) If given an assignment in accordance with paragraph (2), above, the LC1 reserve
pilot will be considered on rest until the report time of the assignment.
(4) A LC1 reserve pilot will be available for assignment by the Company in the LC1
reserve window of 0500 and 1500 hours on each day of LC1 except when on
required rest. If the LC1 reserve pilot is on required rest, when the rest period is
complete, the LC1 reserve pilot will be available for any remaining LC1 window on
that day.
(5) After completing the reserve window at 1500 hours a LC1 pilot without an
assignment will be released from responsibility to the Company until the next LC1
window.
So, if you are on L1 (0500-1500) you can't do a 3 a.m. ready reserve! Only A1 could do those! If you are on A2 (0330-1730) and they call you for a 1400 ready reserve, you can legally leave at 1730. So, technically an L2 could never do a ready reserve, unless they pre-notify you and you sit ready for 2 hrs. ALPA has already been notified about this issue.
