I can see commuters loving this, but this will have a bigger impact on GSs than anything else out there. This language needs to be solid otherwise another slippery slope allowing pilots trip over themselves for a few extra hours that would otherwise be a GS.
It will be interesting to see where this voluntary airport standby would be on the coverage ladder. Would they get called before GS? Could the company use them for trips greater than 1 hour to report? Greater than 2 hours?
