The first part of you post is wrong. It's 3hrs to arrive at the aircraft and be ready for departure. This has been confirmed by the union numerous times. If you guys have questions about this there is a really good guide for new hires on the SPA ALPA page. It's on the new hire tab. Plese do not help them out in these situations they have been doing that more than ever.
