Which term describes the time spent by a reserve crewmember on stand-by status at an airport designated by the Company?

• A. Unaccompanied Minor (UMNR)
• B. Ready Reserve
• C. Reserve Status
• D. Reserve Line

Answer: (B)

Ready Reserve is the term used for the time a reserve crewmember spends at a company-designated airport, standing by and ready to be called for a trip. This status means you’re physically at the airport and available to cover flights on short notice, rather than being on a general home on-call period. The description in the question matches that scenario exactly: the crew member is at a specific airport and waiting to be assigned a flight. Unaccompanied Minor is about passengers traveling alone, so it doesn’t apply. Reserve Status is too vague, and Reserve Line implies a pre-scheduled line of reserve duty, which isn’t the same as simply being on standby at the designated airport.
