The Reserve Block In screen will appear as shown in the below image. The top section of the Reserve Block-in screen is where you will block-in by clicking “Block In”. The bottom section of the screen shows your block in acknowledgement history for the current bid month. You can view prior bid months by using the left arrow next to the month, as shown. 

Prior to the completion of your last flight arriving back at your home domicile, Crew Scheduling will be alerted to your upcoming arrival. Close to your debrief time, they will have updated your status to show you are released to legal rest or you are requested to call Crew Scheduling, either because there is the potential for your pairing to be modified or you have been assigned to a second pairing departing within 15 hours, as shown in the following images. 

➢ “Reserve Block In – RELEASED; You are released to legal rest”. You then acknowledge the notification by clicking on the “Acknowledge” button: 

➢ “Reserve Block In – CALL; Please call Crew Scheduling”. You then acknowledge the notification by clicking on the “Acknowledge” button: 

Please note, you are only able to view your status after your last flight has arrived (if Crew Scheduling has updated the status), or past the debrief time of your last flight. If you attempt to block in prior to the end of your debrief time, one of the following error messages will be displayed: 

Last Flight Has Not Yet Blocked In: 

Last Flight Blocked In, Prior to Debrief Time and Crew Scheduling has not Updated Status: 

Attempted Block-in after Already Having Blocked in: 

PLEASE NOTE: IF NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY CREW SCHEDULING, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE RELEASED TO LEGAL REST AT YOUR DEBRIEF TIME. THE RESERVE BLOCK IN STATUS WILL BE UPDATED TO SHOW YOU “RELEASED” AND ONCE YOU “ACKNOWLEDGE” IT WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE “CCS BLOCK IN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT HISTORY” SECTION. 

When Last Segment Contains Alpha Characters 

If the last segment in your pairing is not a flight number, but rather an item containing alpha characters (i.e. LIMO), the system will automatically request that you call Crew Scheduling. In this scenario, you will receive the following message: 

Pairing Modifications 

As stated above, you may be given a second assignment within the same duty period to avoid drafting prior to your arrival at your home domicile. If this happens, your pairing will be updated with the additional flying and you will be sent a priority message immediately upon signing into CCS. You must “Acknowledge” the modification, as shown below: 

If your pairing is modified before you block in, you will not be able to block in on the Reserve Block In screen, until the debrief time of your updated arrival flight. If you attempt to block in after your pairing is modified, you would see the following message:
