Live 10 minutes from the airport? Check your schedule at the 1:50 mark (well, minus whatever prep time you need).
45 minute2 away? Check at the 1:15 mark.
2:30 away? Check your schedule 30 minutes prior to SC starting. If you have a rotation, go to the aiport. If you don't yet have an assignment then call scheduling at that point to remove the NC. The benefit of this is you were still "blocked" from being assigned an early report from the time they assign the SC until that 30 minutes prior period. Plus then if they do give you an illegal report earlier than two hour mark you can just do it and get the extra pay later.
I agree with all of this except the "call scheduling" part. No need for that. Just make an official schedule check. As I mentioned before, an official way would be to check iCrew. A better way would be to screenshot that iCrew check to capture the timestamp. No further action needed, no phone call required.
