When you use this, you are now signing on for a DEFINED 2 hour callout to be at the airport. It’s no longer PROMPTLY AVAILABLE. I can be promptly available to drive in, but I can’t commit to being at any co-terminal in a defined two hours. I fully understand once revoked, you go back to promptly available. The chance exists though, you could get that “as soon as two hours” assignment and earn yourself a demerit when you delay a flight.
I see your logic, and it’s not wrong; but as a local, I could get burned. I’m not going to utilize the non-contactable play.
What is more likely, you get a +2:01 report 1 second into your window or you just become PROMPTLY AVAILABLE by checking your schedule? What if the phone rings 1 second into your window and you didn't go NC? How is this any different? Your being arguementative because you want to be correct. You are not. But I like the fiestyness. Bring on your scenarios!
