My question is the training. It ends at 1730, I’m Atl based. My understanding is I have 9 hours after that no obligation, then back on 18 hr LC assuming a reserve day. So my earliest report would be 2030 the day after training (assuming I’m trying not to work).
Correct.
Critically, remember you do NOT have a PWA-defined "Non-fly day" before that LC day following training. So no 10 hour carveout. Further, you are NOT in a contactable status on any portion of the calendar day that contains training. So unless they place an assignment (or rest)
before your training day (unlikely),
they must call you while in a contactable status . In such a case, if a person does not call you, you have zero contractual obligation to be aware of that assignment.
Fairly high chance CS screws that up. Do with that what you will. For me, I've been burned one too many times and don't feel obligated to fix company mistakes anymore.
