Do I need to be at the airport or nearby or have already sorted out how I’m going to make that work?
I’m getting these OOBGS and even normal GS so late in the game that I can’t do it even if I wanted to. If I got the call 3-4 hours ago, I totally would have been able to make it work but I guess they gotta get through so many people before it gets to me.
This is from the PWA:
11. When awarding a GS or GSWC the Company will:
a. attempt to contact the pilot using at least two telephone numbers listed in DBMS,
b. allow a pilot in a non-time critical assignment (i.e., a rotation that is scheduled to
depart three hours or more after attempted contact) no less than ten minutes to
respond from the first attempted contact, and
c. afford the pilot accepting the award the reporting time ability of a short call reserve pilot.
