Only have X days until I expire then vacay after that. Since there is no requirement to be contactable on X days or vacation, can they assign the RCY on my one remaining identified day (the 20th...surrounded by X days)? At what point do I have to answer the phone, my next on-call days in June?

I have been called the day the recency before. Like Sailing said, play the game of not answering if you want, but in this environment I don't know if I'd risk not going current. Then have company claiming they gave you a chance to get qualified again and not getting paid because it was your issue, not theirs. It might be weeks of no pay. I don't know if I'd want to play that game personally.

The number for the sim planners are in the bid package I believe, but they are pretty busy and don't often answer the phone. I've had better luck with email, if I remember when I called the flight training planner it had their email in their message (I could be wrong) but I bet Crew Assist could help with the email address.
