(sigh) That is why YOU choose when you end your NC status. You can even call and end it before your SC starts. If you are a 3 hour drive from the airport call 2 hours before SC starts and that gives you 4 hours to make your “immediately available” time.
It’s simple. The farther away you are the earlier you officially end your NC status. If at the time you end NC status there is a rotation on your schedule you still have plenty of time to be at the airport by 2:00 into your SC period. If there is no assignment you simply then go immediately back onto your standard promptly available leash.
