Is what this means, is that originally you were NC for the first two hours. Got it. Then at SC + 0:01 you sked check, see nothing, now your back to contactable, but they still cannot assign you a trip that reports in that first two hours because you originally set yourself up as NC?
(My brain only see's you doing the 0:01 sked check which puts you back to contactable, making the NC option vanish back into thin air so your just a regular SC which makes no sense to me)
No.
By calling in NC, you prevent the company from assigning you a rotation that reports during the first 2 hours (not allowed by the PWA), where as if you didn't call in NC, its allowed for for scheds to call you at SC + 0:01 for report at 0:02 and getting the "how fast can you be here" with the 2'-ish to 3-ish hours to report.
But at SC +0:01 you log into icrew and check your schedule...assuming nothing has been assigned, you have not turned off the NC status and your back to the normal "promptly available"
You are basically cutting your 6 hour window (of where scheduling can assign a report) down to 4.
