Therefore that person will have to commute in just like before.
3 day to 3 day is more of a possibility, so that's good. But all in all it's not a substitute for long call.
plus if I remember if you do release to check in you lose LCO for the 1st day if something changes.
Its something but nothing spectacular.
RTCI removes the underlying rsv block while still giving you credit for days used on rsv for the RCO. Rsv pays the same as a Lineholder and there’s nothing in the contract that says LCO doesn’t pay day 1 on RTCI. You get paid for any change on day 1 just like a Lineholder….you are effectively a line holder for all intents and purposes. Even on rsv, you get LCO if something changes.
