Here is what the company agreed to in WSC.

A long-call pilot has a 12-hour leash, which means that he may not be required to report for a rotation in less than 12 hours or start short call in less than 10 hours from fi rst attempted notifi cation. As long as a pilot is contactable via at least one of the numbers listed in DBMS (just enough to know the telephone has not been called), then he will not have to check his schedule during routine long-call days. As long as Scheduling has not called one of those numbers, his 12-hour leash is always pushing out in front of the current time. If a long-call pilot desires to be out of contact entirely for periods of time (sleeping without interruption, golfi ng without a cell phone, etc.), then he must check his schedule (or messages) at least every 9 hours. This ensures that he can acknowledge no later than 3 hours prior to any rotation, 1 hour prior to start of a short call or 6 hours after the start of a rest period that might have been assigned while he was out of contact.
