I read this to mean that the company can assign a pilot on Base Hotel Standby a trip that extends 36 hours domestically or 84 hours internationally into their time off right off the bat. It doesn't even have to be an extension, just any trip that fits the foot print. If so, that is a huge concession. What am I missing?
You’re not missing anything. Our scheduling language is garbage.
