Please refer to CBA language in 12.B.3.d. YES, you are basically required to be reached in your hotel room for the 11+30 duty period

can you be more specific. I can find no reference for sitting by the hotel phone in 12.B.3.d.

I realize the reality of the call-outs isn't always ASAP - I did get one though, while we were still at the CAN Pullman. Woke out of a dead sleep and got the "be in the lobby in 20 minutes" panic call.

A few weeks ago, I was talking to a Crew Control scheduler. She asked me what my understanding of hotel standby was. I gave her the 1+30 spiel that Adlerdriver listed above. She said she had called a Capt in CDG hotel standby during her previous shift and told him transpo would be at the hotel in 45 min for a departure. The Capt had told her there was no way he could make that, and that the trip would just have to be pushed back. Pretty sure the captain got an IR.

All good advice. However if sitting stby in CDG it would be just as simple to go to the hotel gym and be just as ready for a callout. Purpletail left me with the impression that management made the claim there was some CBA language telling me I had to sit by the phone in my room. I cant find the particular language and would appreciate a point out.
If I ever pull another tour I already plan on locking my belt and shoe laces in the safe. You guys want to make it even more depressing.

So are you confined to your hotel room? Technically no but CRS must have a way to contact you and if contacted you must be packed and ready for picked up in 1+30 time. The likelihood of me getting called out is slim to none but with my luck I'd be "the one"
12.B.3.d.iii does talk about the :45 min notification IF the first leg is a DH by charter or company jumpseat, otherwise it is 1:30 alert.

Obviously, there are many here who assume it is from notification to pickup. This is what disturbed the scheduler I talked to. She gave the guy 45 min to pickup, and he still couldn't make it.
