Watch That Sneaky Reserve Day

Date: May 30, 2003

Today's DEAR AFA Tape reports "United has announced that all bases may be experiencing tight reserve coverage at the end of this month, with higher than anticipated load factors, CRAF charters, weather; and advised that most reserves who are available on the last day of the month will be utilized."

In other words, if you are on reserve on the last day of the month, watch out, as you can be flown the difference of your credited time (or your FTM) and maximum time prior to midnight on the last day of the month, including a flight that departs shortly before midnight which would require only a few minutes of
availability below your maximum.  Joy.

Remember also that you cannot be scheduled to fly into a day off in a reserve month, but you can be assigned a trip into days off if you are going into your lineholder month.
