We DO NOT do airport standby. You either have a trip or youre free to do what you want as long as you can make a 2 hour call out.
With the exception of UAL does any 121 major have shorter than 2 hr short call callout?
Most 121 carriers, the norm is 12hr + callout on reserve. 2 hrs is still pretty short notice if you wanna ski or golf etc.
