Thirdly, the contract language is vague and when the language is vague the company is going to win every time if push comes to shove. Lastly, I don’t care where people go or what they do honestly, but the company expects you to be at work on days you are scheduled to be at work. It’s no different than if you first round trip cancels on day 1 and you have 6 hours until your next leg. Scheduling still expects you to stay at the airport for possible reassignment. Do people go home? Sure, but you are rolling the dice they won’t call you.
Again, I really don’t care what people do. I’m just one person on the internet giving conservative advice to keep your nose clean and out of the cpo.
First part I agree with. Commuting and vague language you are spot on.
What is this thing people have with being worried about Missing a phone call from CS??? Once you are at the airport and on a trip there is NO obligation for you to be available for reassignment except during OSO. If you have a four hour sit or something cancels and you have a long sit then there is no obligation for you to answer a phone call from CS. Go home go eat go to a movie.
