All of long island to Albany, NY to Reading, PA to Wilmington, DE to Atlantic City to Springfield, MA

This is actually a negative consequence (in my opinion) of DALPAs insistence on not having a hard short call response time. We've been very adamant about that over the years. That's mostly a good thing, but the company's attitude is "two can play that game."

If for example we had a hard two hour callout, that would be compulsory on BOTH parties. Yes the pilot would have to show as soon as two hours from trip assignment but the company would also be compelled to have a scheduled departure time NET two hours from trip assignment.

As it is DALPA has long insisted "you can't have a hard SC window, too many variables." So the company says, "ok, the opposite applies for us as well. We'll call SC pilots, if we need to, with ONE hour from a scheduled departure, and then just not hold the pilot's actual report time against him." That's sort of BS to me, but that's the side effects of our SC language. (I still prefer it to a hard callout time but nothing exists in a vacuum.)

So a West Coast to East Coast red eye that reports at 2230 July 31st (0130 NYC time on 1 Aug) and the pilot is NYC based, it would credit on 1 Aug.

Appreciate the reply, but not quite the same situation. Report time and block in are in the same calendar day. Block in is at 2350. Release is at 0020 domicile time. Question is what day does the trip credit (ADG) pay? The day you block in, or the day you are released?
