Is CRS kind to "Hey, I may be out of cellphone range for two hours, do you have anything for me now? I will check back in ASAP."
Thanks in advance.
Like any reserve, you better been in coverage. My first day ever on R24, I got called while the mrs. and I were hip deep in a river fly fishing!
With that said, I'd call CRS if I knew I was going to be out of coverage for a known period of time and work with them! I did this once when I jumpseated home from a trip previously assigned in R24.
