I've seen references to "checking icrew" or "contacting pilot assist." How does one ascertain they are no longer in a NC status and are now promptly availably?
Per the SRH, there are two ways to end NC status: view your icrew schedule or call scheduling and tell them.
It is not spelled out anywhere since the intent is that you would not end NC status until SC has started, but I would advise that if you are going to end NC status prior to the start of SC then you must call scheduling and tell them. Checking icrew before your SC start time may or may not remove NC status. It 100% does end NC status when done one SC has started.
