Which term describes a PBS-based schedule showing reserve availability periods, assignments, and days off?

• A. Reserve Line
• B. Reserve Status
• C. Ready Reserve
• D. Turn (local)

Answer: (A)

Reserve Line is the term for the PBS-based schedule that lays out reserve availability periods, the trips you may be assigned, and your days off. In crew scheduling, a line represents a planned sequence of duties and rest blocks, and the reserve line specifically shows when you’re on reserve, the potential assignments during that period, and the days you’re off. This distinguishes it from Reserve Status, which is just whether you’re currently on reserve, Ready Reserve, which refers to being in the pool of crew ready to be called rather than a specific schedule, and Turn (local), which is a particular short-duty trip pattern not describing the full reserve schedule.
