Nah. People love the dopamine hit of getting that Arcos callout. Same thing for people complaining about getting calls all hours of the night - even though they literally asked for it.

Yep, it's super easy. I never get bothered by GS calls because I don't put in slip requests. I have my phone set to automatically go into "do not disturb" mode from 22:00 to 06:00, so I don't get woken up by IA calls either. Easy peasy Lemon squeezy.

That's not a definition of promptly report. That is a trade-off you can make to be able to not be available for contact for the first 2 hours of a short call period. Short call report time is not 2 hours. Its not approximately 2 hours, or loosely 2 hours. It is promptly report.

This technique works for me as well. Maybe we are the reason that there are over a hundred cancellations today due to no crews available. I am too tired to do any extra flying.

Is 4 hours from notification to show promptly reporting? How about 6 hours? I think you will find the Company and ALPA have developed a general understanding/agreement over the course of 20+ years that "promptly report" means around 2 hours (NYC and LAX excepted due to co-terminal operations). If you are reporting 2+01 later, no one is going to bat an eye. Report 4+31 after call-out off Short Call and I suspect there will be a follow-up call.

Sounds good to me. However, the previous poster asked "Please show me where there is any reference, loose or not, to short call notice being 2 hours." I provided one reference (and to be clear, that was a reference, not a definition), that's all.

But my point is that’s not a reference to short call being two hours. You make a deal to disappear for two hours and the price is you will be on the hook for something at 2 hours. That’s it.
Yes, the company frequently tells people it’s generally two hours, especially to new hires who don’t know anything different. But PWA is intentionally silent.
