Bring on your scenarios!
I'm sorry but the whole checking 1 minute into your SC window while in the 2 hour Non-Contact doesn't make sense. If I'm 1:55 into my 2:00 hour noncontact window "commuting in" and I check my schedule at 1:59 after ladnding in base, there could be a rotation sitting on my schedule that reports at 2:01 into my short call. So it confusing to me that a local would apply the non-contact clause for 2 hours and only check 1 minute into the SC window.....Can't CS put a rotation on your schedule at anytime in your 2 hour window, and you could be required to check at 2:00hrs to "report" immediately at the end of the 2 hour window? That's how I always understood it in my 7ish years here.
SRH says " during their period of unavailability, the pilot assumes responsibility of acknowledging any rotation placed on their line".
Does that not mean that CS can place the rotation on at any point during the period of non-contact. So a local checking their schedule 1 minute into the SC period doesn't absolve them of anything for the first 2 hours sitting at home.
