The problem is there's no clear language to guide the company. There isn't any in the current contract either. Some how right now they can displace you at any time up until 1200 hours prior, no max limit. The LOA doesn't fix that either. The current contract allows the company to violate the trip trade language, trades up to 48 hours, with the displacement language, any time up to 12 hours prior. Once you're displaced into additional flying or(read and) LCR, you are locked from trading due to being a "reserve" pilot.
Did I explain that clearly enough? Not trying to be an ass, the interwebs sucks in clear communications sometimes.
You're not being an ass. I see what you're saying. I do see how this can be twisted into sch favor.
