Today, I have SC starting at 1400 and I noticed last night that I have a rotation assigned reporting at 1430. I haven’t been notified via phone yet, so I totally expect a call at 1400 today notifying that I need to report in 30 minutes. I’ll be there, on time of course but I feel like in a way I’m supporting this (perceived) new model of short notice callouts. Ugh.
Your only obligation to the company on SC is to be in the vicinity of the airport starting at your SC start time. When they call you to notify you (unless you relieved them off this obligation by self-acknowledging the assignment), at that point your only obligation is to get to the airport in a safe, reasonable time frame. You are under no obligation to rush or to make an on time departure. You are under no obligation to head to the airport before your SC start time and before being officially notified of a rotation assignment.
