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?
But, at that point, you don't care: you're already airborne, presumably (if you're playing by the rules) arriving at base no later than the 2-hour window. The point others are making here is (adoping the undefined "two hours" for a SC report), by ending your NC, you actually give yourself *more* time to report. If you *don't* end your NC period, you could get an assignment for 2:01 after the start of SC, with an "immediately available" requirement.
