Scheduling Pros and Cons

[Cforero7 (Chris F)]

This attached thread below explained different types of reserve.

My airline you are on Reserve 18 days a month.
If you are never called (only happened during Covid), each day is worth 4.12hr of pay, a guaranteed income of 76hr per month.

Short Call-Long Call

James, Generally speaking the long call reserves will be assigned trips the day before, while short call will be more days type trips. At my airline we have “field standby” reserves that are actually at the airport. This is only for four hours at a time and generally only assigned to a reserve pilot once or twice per month. Chris
