Havent been based in LAX for a while, but an hour is what I did when I was there. Especially if you gotta take the bus to the eagles nest. That can sometimes add 5 mins, or as much as 30 or more if aircraft are blocking the "roads" on the taxiways.

Well, you're not required to have a phone once on an assignment, so throw the phone call aspect out. ACARS? How when you've left the cockpit and the door has been popped? After the last pax is off and everything is done, I'm gone. I certainly don't have to sit in the cockpit to see if they've sent me a message. A rep? Sure, but I've never seen one. Bottom line, in over a year of reserve after i upgraded, the only time they got me was via ACARS while still flying. They know this. Doesn't mean they'll try outside of it, but you're under no obligation to answer your phone. If you want to be "abused", by all means, call them and be proactive.

Should be the Hol Inn...shuttle runs not on a schedule. Shows up outside to the left of door every 20-30 mins. I've made it to the airport in 7-8 mins before, other times it took 45 to the drop off point. Depends on day and time.

THIS...To a T...they will try, just don't answer. Once you've blocked in, ACARS is off the table...

One hour is a safe bet. It's stress free, specially the first time. You can tweak it later as you get braver and start cutting it closer to showtime.

I found this discussion about duty and being contactable helpful. Especially when quotes from the cba are being thrown around

Maybe I've missed it, but has there been updates on pilots taking any short term leaves of absence? I still see a lot of critical pay emails and I don't get a feeling we are completely over staffed (according to TSH standards). Does anyone know of a pilot that took a leave?

This policy of being able to control your phone is nothing new, it has been a corporate policy for years. And why I never get company email on my devices.

I don't think the Office365 app will help. I already got this behavior on Outlook and Gmail apps. This is clearly a server issue. Now I just wonder if it's somebody's mistake in configuring something, or the company really wants to do this.
