Sounds good to me. However, the previous poster asked "
Please show me where there is any reference, loose or not, to short call notice being 2 hours." I provided one reference (and to be clear, that was a reference, not a definition), that's all.
Is 4 hours from notification to show promptly reporting? How about 6 hours? I think you will find the Company and ALPA have developed a general understanding/agreement over the course of 20+ years that "promptly report" means around 2 hours (NYC and LAX excepted due to co-terminal operations). If you are reporting 2+01 later, no one is going to bat an eye. Report 4+31 after call-out off Short Call and I suspect there will be a follow-up call.
