I checked my schedule post 1500 Mecca time, & there is not a SC assignment on my schedule. So I know I'm on long call, but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for sitting LC.
Specifically, does anyone check their schedule every 3-4 hours? Or does everyone just wait for a call? Plus, if they were to assign me SC for Sat would I get a call or will it just show up on my schedule? Will they have to give me a specific amount of notice for the SC assignment?
Thanks in advance.

Just to be perfectly clear, you need to check your schedule after 1500 local base time not Mecca(Atlanta) time. I got sightly bit by this once.
