There were some people b¡tching about being used a lot on long call........but if you ve played ball before you kinda know ......the additional notification time is not so you can stay home more.

Universal airline reserve knowledge:

LONG CALL you are doing what your colleagues DO NOT want to do...(ie Weekends, non commutable 4 days)

SHORT CALL you are covering the Company's mistakes or setbacks ( deadhead, Work 1 leg, overnight - DH back to domecile)
