Not sure this will be true. Relatively close commuters maybe...

As it's currently written, I believe it's a 12 hour call out regardless of report time.

I.E. 8pm call on Tuesday night for 8am report Wednesday morning. In many cases, 8pm is either past the last flight of the night into the hub or darn close considering you need to grab your bag and be out the door and at the airport before that last flight and could likely be before the first flight in the AM will get you into the hub.

Especially true if you commute across timezones where you lose time into the hub.

So LCR as currently written is probably best for something like Boston commuters into NYC. For that, it's great.

For something like a MEM to ATL commuter, not so much.

Make it 15, I say.

Had a long sit the other day. 4:28 to be exact. CS would not budge on a day room. Has to be 4:30 or they get in trouble, or so I was told.

15-16 would be amazing. Seems to be the meaty part of the bell curve with average overnights. 20 hours and plus are hard to come by.

15 would be excellent!

It was a starting point, with possibility of lowering it in future negotiations.

It would be nice if LCR was a little longer of a call out than 12 hours. 24 would be wonderful, but 16 would be doable for many. I’m in the same boat where if I was called at 7pm for a 7am show, I’d have to get in my car and drive through the night. But a 7pm phone call for a 11am show is doable. Do any other companies use a longer window?

Before the bankruptcy we had 10am the day prior.

I.e. if you had long call on Monday, you had to check your schedule no earlier than 10am on Sunday and no later than 6pm (if I recall correctly). So as long as you checked at 10:01am then you had generally a minimum of 20 hrs (for a 6 am departure the next day).

It was great. Long calls were also in the same priority as all reserves so if you bid last out, there was a good chance you were never going to be called. I understand why the company wanted to change that, the call out time being the same as before would have been nice though.


I went back and looked at the wording on the new call out, on the first day of your reserve sequence you can't be assigned a show before 1pm, however if you aren't used that first day and you are used the second day, the 12 hour call out applies.

My earlier example with Tuesday was correct assuming you started your reserve sequence on Monday.

The first day thing is nice, but once I fall into the 12 hour window I get hosed between 6pm and 9pm with a min call out. I’d have to get in my car and drive 6 hours. Or go sit at the airport each night standing at the counter for the last flight Incase they call me

I’ll probably just watch these first couple months and see what kind of report times guys are getting.

They stated in recurrent they are working to drop it to 18. It's a start.
