I think many are getting wrapped around the axle about nothing. Be professional polite and realistic and you wont have a problem. Only time I heard of issues is with guys sitting short call in LAS or RNO or PHX while reserve in LAX. That is just not being professional, realistic and when they do call you may not be all that polite...... Bottom line everyone in scheduling has been nothing but professional polite and understanding.....
Wrapped around the axle is putting it mildly. I've been with this company 20 + years and when I was on reserve and it was a tight show time I just told them so! The 2 hour rule is not a big deal. Let this part of the thread die!
