Edit to add: If you check your schedule on wifi while airborne to your SC, you now have the standard "promptly available" standard to meet. Which is undefined but generally understood to mean about 2 hours depending on local conditions at your base.
Let me clarify a concern:
If I’m airborne and check my schedule on icrew at 1410, NC is removed?, and I put away my phone. Unbeknownst to me, scheduling calls me for a trip at 1420. My phone doesn’t ring, it’s in airplane mode and I’m no longer on icrew.
I’d hate to get a “unable to contact” note left by the scheduler. I know I can acknowledge a trip through icrew, but just because WiFi works earlier in the flight, doesn’t mean it lasts the whole flight or that I’m constantly able to check my schedule, hence the whole point of NC. Again, if you’re actually using NC, is the gouge don’t check your schedule until you land?
