And...you don't have to block out at the new scheduled push time...it's perfectly fine to leave early...one of the most asinine things I witness is FAs who will sit on the airplane for 15 minutes to wait till 30 prior to board and CAs who won't release the brake until new scheduled push. That has nothing to do with the FAR. It's strictly based on coming on duty.

Yea they aren’t pushing back at all on it. They typically will alter our departure times to reflect 10 hours at the hotel before I even call.
I have had gate agents tell me they can’t close the door more than 10 prior from the new scheduled departure time. I don’t fight them about it but it sure is dumb.

We are just numbers and do what we are told. Policies are for the lowest common denominator....

Recall talking to those guys crediting 150 hours plus on reserve with some premium pickup.

So what are the two regionals with the much better rules?
