My understanding is that you can call sched and say that you won’t be contactable for the first two hours of SC. Ostensibly meaning you are commuting in and will be at the airport within the first two hours of short call, and you will be available for a trip immediately upon the 2 hour time limit expiring.
After reading this post it sounds like it can have other protections/effects as well? Could you maybe explain to…the group… how that could benefit- say for example- someone who lives an hour from the airport?
