Common use of RESERVE CREW BASE REST Clause in Contracts

RESERVE CREW BASE REST. 1. Following any Reserve sequence, a Reserve shall be provided no less than twelve (12) hours rest (calculated from release from duty to report for duty) at her/his home crew base which is reducible at her/his option as specified in Scheduling, Section 10. 2. Unless notified of an assignment for the current reserve duty day in accordance with Paragraph M upon check-out from a Reserve’s sequence, or upon completion of a Standby assignment at her/his home or Temporary Duty Assignment (TDY) crew base, she/he shall be considered released from Reserve duty to begin her/his legal crew base rest period. If a Reserve checks in at the airport but does not fly, she/he will resume her/his RAP unless released by Crew Schedule. A Reserve will not be required to be available for contact by Crew Schedule during her/his crew base rest as specified in Hours of Service, Section 11. 3. Upon release into such uninterrupted rest period at a home or TDY crew base, a Reserve; will not be called by Crew Schedule for the first eight (8) and thirty (30) minutes, unless there is an operational need to notify the Flight Attendant of a schedule change to her/his next flying assignment. In such event, the Flight Attendant will not be obligated to answer such call. A Reserve will be required to check the Crew Management System to review and acknowledge any assignment concurrent with the commencement of a RAP or Standby assignment. 4. After the Reserve has completed her/his rest, she/he will be placed on a full RAP shift unless the Reserve requests to be placed on a RAP with a modified start time. Crew Schedule may, but is not required to, award the modified RAP to the Reserve. The modified RAP will contain the same end time as the originally published RAP. Example: The rest following a reserve sequence ends at 0800. A Reserve was originally assigned RAP A. She/he will be reassigned to RAP B since she/he will be available for the entire RAP. She/he may request RAP A which has a 0700 start time. If Crew Schedule agrees to award a modified RAP, the Reserve will commence RAP A at 0800 and end her/his RAP at 1900. 5. At Crew Schedule’s option, at any point a deficit of Reserves exist in a particular RAP, Crew Schedule may offer the option for Reserves, on a first come, first served basis, to request to be reassigned to the RAP where the deficit exists.
