Again, it’s been explained to you by multiple posters why using that provision as a local might not be advantageous. In the situation I was in, it would not have applied since the assignment came >2 hours after beginning my SC.

It’s a programming issue that’s assigning trips out of order. Even using VAS is up to the company’s discretion.

It's been explained to you that locals bennefit the most. In your case the harrassing calls would not have been made. VAS is company discretion changing the calulus is the reason for using NC. Programming errors are not my concern. They will manually correct the errors, or pay for the violation.

literally the only downside for a local is that you have to bother to 1. Call CS at original SC assignment notification time, and 2. check your schedule in iCrew 1 minute into your SC. Bottom sentence of the SRH page 80, and top sentence of page 81.
why would you not do this every SC as a local? What do you think the disadvantage is?

I’ve been called on SC with a report in 45 min. Flat out told them I can’t make it and would be there in approximately 2 hours. 15 min after the original report time, I got two calls from CS asking where I was and I even had the captain call me from the cockpit wondering where I was!
So yeah, we even have pilots pushing other pilots on report times.

We have no obligation to answer the phone after the notification. We also have no obligation to rush.

Respectfully, I don’t think you are grasping the issue. It’s also been explained several times that using NC allows you to be exempt from the first 2 hours of SC, AND that simply checking your schedule via iCrew puts you back in a normal contactable status where they must call you, and leaving you plenty of time to drive to work.

In short, if using the 2 hour provision, CS can still award a rotation as early as 2 hours from the start of the SC period. I can't be sitting at home waiting to call CS to switch my contactable status or check my schedule on iCrew for the first at SC +2:01.
Yes, I totally understand that under the provision, a pilot cannot be assigned a trip in the first two hours. There is more to it than that though.
