Sorry for the confusion.
It's all good, 88! I hope I explained it properly.

How early do you get there? Releases are usually ready 1hr prior. Get there :50 minutes and never wait again.

Domestic rules vs intl, vs ULH all different. I will admit I don't even think about domestic rules. I only think of ULH. I understand your confusion with what I said and I'll go back to coloring.

If I do my QCQ while deadheading on a GS, do I get double pay?

Within a couple of months we will all get our very own copy of the release on our tablets and sign it electronically. That will really get the South guys wound up.

Have any of you been getting the release from the new I-crew mobile? Who cares about a paper copy and how someone splits it up now that we can get a nice easy to navigate electronic copy.

Has anyone ever got the "updated" weather and had it make any difference on anything related to whether or not to go in the last 10 years? Kinda like the landing gear lever DOWN in the old preflight checklist. Did anyone EVER find the landing gear lever UP when they got to an airplane? It seems dumb to me to continue to do something that serves no purpose just because that is how we have always done it.

It has nothing to do with domestic vs intl. You are talking nonsense and are wrong. A GS on reserve is the same regardless of Intl vs domestic. Still missing your point. Stick to coloring

He seems to think that the rules apply differently if you are domestic vs international. He is clearly out of touch driving around his 777 and doesn't know what he is talking about in regards to how GS on reserve work. Deflect away scambo but you are wrong

EDIT: After posting, I saw that the very next section beyond what I was reading gives the pay above the guarantee for the first duty period if it is a less than 12 hour call out just like you originally said. Now I see where you are coming from and my post was not entirely correct.
