Description of various elements of Reserve Lines in the bid packet: 

1. Days of Availability (or “days on”) are designated with an R. They are typically grouped throughout the month in three or more-day blocks with intervening “days off” scheduled to be free from availability. 

2. Days Off are blank. Reserve Lines must be built with at least 12 days off, however the Company may build Reserve Lines with up to 16 days off (see item 4 below) with a corresponding reduction in guarantee. 

3. Set days are days off into which a Reserve may not be assigned under any circumstances. The dates on which these Set days are scheduled for each Reserve Line are shaded in the bid packet. 

4. Restorable Days are the additional days off that may be restored to days of availability. They are designated with a “+” in those Reserve Lines built with more than 12 days off. 

5. The total number of days off. 

6. The Reserve Line Number. 

7. Total Credit Time of line (Reserve Minimum Guarantee). 

IMPORTANT NOTE: RESERVE LINES APPEAR DIFFERENTLY ONCE LOADED IN THE MASTER SCHEDULE IN CCS, AS DESCRIBED LATER IN THIS SECTION.
