October Schedule
October was a quiet month for me. I am back on reserve in DCA. Honestly, the thought of a month on reserve after a busy summer full of flying was a nice change of pace. I spent most days on Long call reserve but when I did get called for a short call, I commuted up and stayed at my brother’s house and spent time playing with my nieces. Once in DC, I would pick up consecutive days of short call for some extra add pay since I was already in base anyway.
In total I had 14 days off, converted 3 times to short call out of 17 days on reserve (picked up the rest), flew one turn to Burlington, VT and got paid for 90 hours of credit.

. Any chance you can explain “field standby,” is that just like airport standby, ready reverse - if you get called you have ‘X’ minutes to get to the gate?
