RESERVE summary for IAH and AUS
IAH Reserve Summary
October is a 30 day month. Each reserve day is worth 4:20. There are 35 lines for October. All reserve lines were built with 12 days off. We used patterns to try and give a variety of lines for reserves to choose from based on individual preference. The first 7 lines have 4 on 3 off patterns with the same days of the week working. There are 2 lines that have all weekends off. We also used 6 day on blocks to meet the company targets. The remaining lines were built with patterns that allow for long blocks of days off for those who like to pick up on days off and to meet all other company goals.
FSL - 7 lines. 1 with weekends off.
SPN - 10 lines. 2 with weekends off.
GER - 2 lines. Each line has 2 weekends off.
POR - 2 lines. Each line has 1 weekend off.
AUS Reserve Summary
October is a 30 day month. Each reserve day is worth 4:20. There are 4 reserve lines for Austin. All lines were built with 12 days off. Based on feedback from the base, we tried to build each line with at least 1 weekend off. This was on possible for 3 of the 4 lines.
