just for everyone’s knowledge, FA’s sitting short call have 2 hours and then it’s 3 hours in NYC LAX. So at a minimum, I would do exactly this. 2 hours min, no matter where you are.. from when they actually call. If they wanted someone to be there in 30 minutes they can pay someone to go sit VAS (hot reserve)..
