If they delay your report for minimum rest to 30 min prior to departure, you are still required to be at the gate 30 min prior. Which means take the original van. Do I agree with this?? NOPE. But, it's in our ops manual at Comair.
I may take the original van, but you better believe I won't be at the gate more than 30 minutes prior. I'll be enjoying my coffee and breakfast/lunch/dinner first while I wake up.
