Also, I've been pretty up front that this is my interpretation (however clear it may seem to me) and everyone should do their own research and come to their own conclusions if they care.
Maybe I'm right about 15 mins, maybe I'm wrong - to me it is as clear as day in FM1. Either way, if you check and screenshot there is no question. If you don't then you run the risk of dealing with a grievance (whether the company is in the right by doing so or not) where you're arguing which parts of FM1 apply to you instead of just submitting screenshots.
At the end of the day we've now spent more time bantering about silly non-issues on APC than it would take to screenshot for the rest of the year haha.
So according to FM1 and our contract a reserve pilot is required to check his HI3 and HI6 when he finishes a trip. Done! Finished!! It's not an either or it's both. You have to. Nothing there then you go home.
Let's be clear. There is ABSOLUTELY no requirement to have a cell phone while on duty. A pilot flying a trip has no responsibility to answer any phone call from crew scheduling. Only a pilot on a RAP is contractually required to return a call from CS. Pilots on ready reserve that doesn't have a cell phone are required to stay in the crew/ready reserve room.
Obviously you are new. I would caution you on reading and taking something at face value because when it comes to our contract it's not always clear cut even though it seems to be.
