Any time I’ve said I need my three hours we always pushed well after 3hrs and I’ve never heard a word about it.
The language is poor no doubt but only new hires and guys new to rsv think they have to be ready to push 3hrs from the call.
You hear that new guys? When you tell scheduling your interpretation of the contract and 3 hour call out, you can site amateur scope expert, and all around contract genius, Qotsaautopilot.
Never mind the fact that our SPA ALPA newhire guide, for newhires, describes the call out to be “3 hours ready to depart” and that’s the same language in the contract, 3 hours ready to depart.
So listen to Qotsa....his post will hold up in any probation NOI hearing against you.
