So the best thing to do would be to call scheduling every day and try to get a later on call time and explain your commute to them. As far as commuting home, yeah....good luck?
It might end up taking a month for the company to realize that our commuting problems are their scheduling problems and adjust the reserve scheduling accordingly. I would not expect them to build reserve schedules with more than 11 days off until they think that it is in their best interest and I wouldn’t expect the union to ask for a Long Call Reserve LOA until we ask them for it.
