This Soft Start saved the company about $1600 among the 3 of us~

Well here's the typical problem where guys do not know the contract! ALPA has put out DYK multiple times on Soft Resets. All of you did not read it apparently. If you had let Crew Sked leave a message, you would have known about later pickup time. If someone didn't get a phone call, the Pilot Mobile shows the later pickup time without having to acknowledge the trip. You just go to airport at new time and acknowledge the trip one minute after original show time.
Here's the DYK for your perusal.
