Yup, you have to be at the aircraft ready to depart (but not the aircraft). If both of us are called out of reserve, we can both show at the gate ready to depart 3 hours later. We have 45 minutes to get the aircraft ready to depart (under old contract this was 30 minutes, but current contract specifies a 45 minute show time AT the aircraft).
IANAL, and until someone can post a completed grievance showing what the 3 hours means all of this is a waste of time.
