Which term is used for a schedule built by the company utilizing PBS that indicates reserve availability periods, assignments, and days off?

• A. PBS Schedule
• B. Standby Plan
• C. Reserve Line
• D. Flight Schedule

Answer: (C)

In airline crew scheduling, the line that shows when a reserve crew member is available, what flights they could be assigned, and their days off is called the Reserve Line. This is produced by the PBS system and specifically handles on-call availability and potential assignments for reserves. It differs from a standard Flight Schedule, which is the published list of flights and their times for crews, and from a Standby Plan, which relates to being available without a guaranteed assignment. The Reserve Line encapsulates the reserve’s on-call windows, possible duties, and time off in one schedule.
