I thought there was a thread here that somebody posted that says when you're on reserve, and you get a call, then you get 15 minutes to return that call. Once you return that call, then from *that point onwards* you have 90 minutes to check in.

But checking the Pinnacle pilot CBA, it says:

[Reserves]

10. A pilot on reserve may use a "pager" system or answering machine at his
expense. The pilot is responsible to ensure that the pager or answering
machine is maintained and operating properly and that he remains within
the pager's calling area. A pilot is expected to reply to a telephone
message/page from Crew Scheduling within fifteen (15) minutes, and such
time will be included in the call-out time. A pilot who does not call Crew
Scheduling within the fifteen (15) minutes will be considered unavailable.



That makes it sound like the 15 minutes of you calling crew sked back is already included in the 90 minute callout.

For example.


Crew sked calls you at 9 am. You are busy showering at the time.


9:15am you return the call to crew sked, they give you a flight assignment and tell you to head to the airport.

Now according to that contract statement above, the 15 minute callout is included in the 90 minute report time window.

So does this mean you only have 75 more minutes to check in?

As in, check in latest by 10:30am ?


OR

do you get 90 minutes from the time you return the call? So if you call back crew sked at 915 am, then you have until 10:45am to check in (full 90 minutes).


Just looking for clarification from Pinnacle folks!


Thanks guys!
