Asking because I asked to be released at noon the other day and the scheduler seemed surprised I was calling since I wasn't supposed to be done for another 4 hours. He still released me but I'd rather have contractual language than scheduler whims to determine when I'm released.
They published this in a flight ops weekly email a few months ago. There was even a thread on here about it. To my knowledge there is no contractual language supporting their change and I don't recall ever hearing a peep from ALPA when the company announced it.
