SC is a "reasonable amount of time to report. It is intentionally gray because of the different dynamics at different bases.

Even the 2 hours is a guideline. Quite often crews help the company out quite generously on that, and other times with traffic, weather, etc, even 2 hours from a single airport isn't enough. Much beyond that though and you'd probably have to be prepared to explain the reasonableness of it I'd assume.

Thanks for the clarification T and Gloopy. That was my original understanding of the rule.

Hey,
Any DAL Express alumni out there, I saw where Goz was retiring next month in the event you wanted to well wish him. IMO, he was a super good guy.

This post is very out of character for me. The only way I know it's somebody's birthday is that my wife puts a card in front of me to sign.

If you are gonna hang your hat entirely on that, you will be sorely disappointed, I don't care who is negotiating the contract.

Dont worry. For the past 3 months all of my bid award results were completely different than my icrew "auto-populated schedule". My PBS bids closely matched the icrew screen.
