Hey all,

I just applied to be a ramp ready Reserve for Delta here in SLC. Anyone know exactly what ready Reserve is? How many hours could I expect to work? Is it easier to get holidays off as a RR?

Thanks!
 
Ready reserve means part time without full-time benefits (healthcare, paid vacation, etc.) Travel benefits are included.

You can work up to 1400 hours per year from Oct 1 - Sep 30. Per week it depends on how SLC uses their RRs. Some do 3 days a week/8hrs to get to 24 hours, some are 4 days/6hrs, some are 5 days/5 hours. Just depends on how the station does it. I'd imagine at SLC since it's a big hub they'll have different lines like I mentioned above and you might have a choice of 3/4/5 days as I described.

It is not easy to get major holidays off as a RR since you start out at the bottom of the seniority list. Especially at SLC where there are probably over 1,000 ramp agents.
