If you check your HI3/6 (screenshot it) after block-in you’re released. No requirement to answer your phone. If you don’t self release then you’re required to answer until 15 min after block in.
NO NO NO. Thats just completely wrong. 15 minutes doesn't matter.
You finish a trip and you check your HI3. EVERY TIME. How else will you know they have a trip for you?? (And don't say ACARS) If I block in and my phone is going crazy by CS I do not answer. I check my
HI3/HI6 and if nothing is there then I'm gone.
If you were doing a turn off a RAP you also have check your HI6.
If you were on airport standby and fly a turn and there is still time left over for the shift. Check the N3 to see if someone came in to replace you and then call CS and ask them if you can be released because they brought someone else in. 95%of the time they say yes.
Ending a ready reserve sequence you are required to call to get released EVERY time. However everyone doesn't do this and just leaves once their shift is up.
Also, Personal CYA type of move is I use MobileFOS or a station computer. I have been told by several other pilots using CCI isn't a valid method. Again CYA. And yes screen shots are always required for CYA.
