Edit- This is from the 6/20/2023 update of the SRH on DALPA website:
"A reserve pilot who calls in well on an on-call day prior to 1200 will not be charged a sick day and
will immediately be placed on long call status. If a reserve calls in well after 1201 on an on-call day,
they will be charged for a sick day. The logic is that a reserve pilot who calls in well prior to noon
can be given an assignment on that day since a long call pilot has a 12-hourleash."
I know 0600 makes sense, just wondering about the update now....
That's from page 164 of the SRH under "Sick". But also from the 6/2/23 SRH Page 81, under "Reserve":
"
A reserve pilot who calls in well on an on-call day prior to 0600 will not be charged a sick day and will immediately be placed on long call status. If a reserve pilot calls in well after 0601, he will be charged for a sick day and be placed on long call status at 0001 the following day. The logic is that a reserve pilot who calls in well prior to 0600 can be given an assignment on that day since a long call pilot has an 18-hour leash."
In addition, "Engage" podcast episode #30 confirms 0600 for the 18 hour callout.
Clearly, they missed correcting the SRH on page 164 (the old Contract's reality). Submitting an ACE to correct this typo would be good.
