Blocking-In from Standby (Sections 8.N.2. & 5.) 

If not already given a flight assignment or pre-boarding assignment, at the conclusion of the four (4) hour Standby period Reserves are required to “block-in” by placing a call to Crew Scheduling or by using the CCS Virtual Chat feature. If on a pre-boarding assignment, the Reserve will block-in at the conclusion of duties. Crew Scheduling may: 

➢ Assign the Reserve to a flight that departs within five (5) hours of the time they originally checked-in for the Standby period. 

➢ Assign the Reserve to the first available open pairing not previously assigned for which they are qualified and release them to crew rest. 

➢ Release the Reserve to crew rest. If released to crew rest prior to the Reserve Preferencing process for the next day’s assignments, the Reserve will be assigned as part of the normal process and will ascertain their assignment for the following day between 1930 and 2400 HDT.
