Do any other companies use a longer window?
Before the bankruptcy we had 10am the day prior.
I.e. if you had long call on Monday, you had to check your schedule no earlier than 10am on Sunday and no later than 6pm (if I recall correctly). So as long as you checked at 10:01am then you had generally a minimum of 20 hrs (for a 6 am departure the next day).
It was great. Long calls were also in the same priority as all reserves so if you bid last out, there was a good chance you were never going to be called. I understand why the company wanted to change that, the call out time being the same as before would have been nice though.
I went back and looked at the wording on the new call out, on the first day of your reserve sequence you can't be assigned a show before 1pm, however if you aren't used that first day and you are used the second day, the 12 hour call out applies.
My earlier example with Tuesday was correct assuming you started your reserve sequence on Monday.
