I agree that we need either a longer long call (especially between certain later evening hours) or at least a 1 flight commuter clause during that time. Heck even one of our largest regionals has that.
I'm all about helping the company out when I am able to, however:
I've had to cut the contract short before... we got upturned and then horribly delayed due to a mechanical (due to a fun nuance of my favorite plane, the 737).
"Sir, did you report not ready to fly to your contractual limit today?"
"2 questions- is that what I sign on to every time I report, and secondly, because it is contractual or even legal, does that make it safe?"
He started trying to derive logically that since the contract was negotiated with safety in mind that it followed that it was safe regardless. Needless to say, I won that one.
