Which term refers to the readiness period a reserve crew member maintains while on stand-by status at a designated airport?

• A. Ready Reserve
• B. Reserve Status
• C. Reserve Line
• D. Round Trip

Answer: (A)

Ready Reserve describes the readiness period a reserve crew member maintains while on stand-by at a designated airport. It means the crew member is at or near the airport and remains in a heightened state of readiness to be dispatched within a defined short window set by the carrier. This arrangement ensures rapid coverage during irregular operations like delays or cancellations. The others don’t specify this time-bound readiness: Reserve Status is too generic, Reserve Line refers to a scheduled block of trips, and Round Trip denotes an itinerary rather than a standby readiness status.
