How long does a long call have to call back scheduling? I was given a no contact for not calling back after 10mins. Thought I had 2 hours?

You thought you had 2 hours to call back? Nuts!

Not sure what funny but I believe a long call on the LUS side has 2 hours. Now whether call comes from Daily or Futures is the grey area.

However, that is the exact same argument that the AFA and USAPA put forth when the US BOS base closing was announced, and it fell upon deaf ears. And BOS was supporting the Shuttle operation at the time.

Apparently, the hotel expenses were more than offset by the savings from not paying Massport the rent on office space and employee parking, not having to pay management pilots and their office staff, etc.

And if anybody in management actually comes out and says that they're not planning any changes to your base, that's when you should start looking for a realtor.

"We have no plans to further downsize Pittsburgh".


AA already has a BOS crew base. Added additional crewmembers has a small increase in costs since a lot of the space, staff, and management is already in place.

Long call has 12 hours to report time. If you are on an off day, you don't have to call them back at all. If you are on a reserve day, you are required to call them back, usually within 10-15 minutes. I always make it 10 mins. After that, you will get a NCT...

So did LUS.

And a fairly good sized one, too; which at one time even hosted a 767 to FRA, and many flights to the Caribbean.

And then it started getting smaller, and smaller...

'Sound familiar?
