No. You need to be through security inside the terminal. They can check if you’ve been through KCM, so don’t play games. Also make sure you “check in” before your ready assignment. Non of this is explained in initial training for some reason.

When I first started, I was given my first ready reserve for the following day. I knew it was only 10 minutes to get to the gate, so I decided to sit and read OUTSIDE security in a quiet spot (unaware of that rule). I also was unaware you had to “check in” that you’re at the airport. Naturally I get call from crew support, brand new me excitingly says, “yeah I’m here just hanging out waiting”. “Ok you need to check in, just confirm you’re through KCM”. Yeah obviously clueless new hire me had no idea what I was doing. Nothing happened, they probably saw my employee number. Was informed I need to be through security for ready, and luckily not penalized for it.

Not really, since you are required to check in once you are past security.

Damn some of y’all need to open up the PPM and actually read it. It’s not a 10 min call out on ready it’s 20 minutes….

So should we expect to spend 8 hours a day, 18 days a month, in sets of 4 or 5 days in a row in the airport- past security and checked in on ready reserve?

And time on ready reserve accurs toward monthly guarantee at 2:1? So 8 ÷ 2 = 4 hours accrued per day 18 days per month x 4 = 72. Monthly guarantee is 76.

So crew scheduling could be within the recently updated rules (hopefully someone can post the new rules) to have us at the airport everyday and not with a 2 hour call out.

If thats the case I am going to need to start doing some things now to prepare myself to spend 8 hours a day, 18 days a month sitting in the airport.

While it's technically possible I have never heard of anyone being abused that badly. They are indeed giving out RDY shifts like candy right now, but all day every day for 18 days just isn't what actually happens.

JohnnyBekkestad

i just went through my ready since December and it’s a total of 5 days.

Claxstarr

I think CS is only allowed to give you 5 days of ready a month. Right?

JohnnyBekkestad

nope, there is no limit. That’s what we want to have, a limit on how many days. I believe you are thinking for either OBR or LC to SC conversions.

Why is it that republic can get away with no ready reserve but we cannot? Limit the amount of times they can convert you? How about abolish ready reserve all together.

TimetoClimb

agreed. It also doesn’t say we need to be through security. Some hubs have multiple terminals each with their own security - are you supposed to harness quantum mechanics or something to be available to all of them? SFO crew room to DL gates , not gonna happen in 20.
