Reserve Day Off Trade Rules
_ _ _
Once a Reserve has received their schedule for the following month, they will have the ability to trade Reserve days off within that schedule. There are two ways to do this:
➢ Trading days off with other Reserves (Mutual Trades)
➢ Trading days off with the Reserve Pool
IMPORTANT NOTE: ALL RESERVE DAY OFF TRADES ARE BLOCKED DURING THE RESERVE PREFERENCING WINDOW EACH DAY FROM 1600 TO 1930 HDT
➢ Trades may be done anytime during the month. Requests must be made at least one (1) calendar day local time prior to the day to be traded. For example, if you wish to trade the 5th, the request must be made by the 3rd, leaving a full calendar day (midnight to midnight period) between the request and the day to be traded.
➢ Reserves must maintain availability for the shortest trip in their base or three (3) days, whichever is greater.
➢ A day in a Set block of days off that is traded will no longer be Set unless it is placed at the end of a block of Set days.
➢ Throughout the month, Reserves may trade an unlimited number of days off with the Reserve Pool, subject to minimum Reserve coverage.
Minimum Reserve coverage will be determined by Crew Scheduling.
Reserve pool trades will start with the trip trading window(s).
Reserves may trade days off with the pool when both days have positive coverage, or when trading a day off that falls on a day with negative coverage to a day with positive coverage.
➢ Rejected trades shall include the reason for being rejected.
