The captain told me there was grassroots effort with this last CBA to define contactable, but the specific wording was removed at the company's request. The company wants the vague interpretation option to remain so they can use to the detriment of the pilot group.
What does contactable mean to you?

LOL, whatever I want it mean.

Check my email once a day.

Or be on SCR with the phone at ready... guess what, that runs the duty clock, you need legal rest before too long.

Sure, it’s not defined. Neither was a commuter for the hotel LOA. I’d go with the reasonable person approach. If I’m on cancelation makeup I probably can’t get away with checking my email once per day.

I wouldn't really do that.

I also wouldn't hang out anywhere near the airport, I'd go home. "Contactable" =/= "SCR"

To me it means returning a call to scheduling in a reasonable amount of time and making an effort to report for an assignment in a reasonable
amount of time. Definitely not hanging around the airport and definitely not held to a 2.5 hour call out unless actually on reserve. I’ve never gotten any pushback on this or had scheduling try to force anything different.

15-20 minutes has worked for me in the past for returning a call. For reporting I’ve never been asked to report while on cancelation makeup less than 2-3 hours. On reserve I’ve been asked to report earlier but have never been required to. I told them unable but would do my best. I would definitely get there within 2 hours which has the time was the contractual requirement.
