As far as the 40 minute thing... I'll get there when I get there. There would be zero way I'd make that even living 20 minutes away from the lot at a good time of day.

Wow. I'm half that distance to LGA and consider my house near the limits of reasonable for short call to NYC. (Based on the unwritten 2 hour rule.) It's all subjective I guess.

Ehhh....the long-standing and accepted practice in NYC has been 2 hours(ish) in normal traffic from any one of the three (LGA, JFK, EWR). Can't help that 8 am call-out with an hour+ of traffic on the VanWyck ("They say no one's ever beaten the VanWyck...but gentlemen, I tell you this... I came as close as anyone ever has"). Many times scheduling will even authorize short-term parking (if you ask) which saves a lot of time at JFK and EWR...Laguardia, not so much these days.

Yes, I stand by my original statement and you backed it up. They can attempt to give you a 40 minute callout. Big difference between attempting to and actually giving you one. As you pointed out the FO showed up late with no repercussions. There is no exact value given but 2 hours is generally viewed as the cutoff point between getting yourself in trouble or not. Clearly I hurt your feelings judging by your last sentence.
I didn't say you had to show up in 40 minutes or get in trouble as you seem to have latched on to. 40 minute call out, go read the last paragraph 10 more times if it hasn't sunk in. Let me know if you need help counting to 10, my college had math. Now take a deep breath, don't kick your dog, and stop being so angry when another pilot wants to improve the profession.

Yes, there is. My last callout was 40 minutes until report. No repercussions for being late, but that's what happened. FO on the same 40 minute callout didn't even make push and they had to hold the plane. Any other incorrect all encompassing statements you need to make?
Uh....yeah they can give you a 40 minute call out.
You don't have to make it on time, but they will call you 40 minutes later asking where you are, then again about 30 minutes after that, then the CP will call and ask where you are about 10 minutes after that call. Answer: About 40 minutes away like I told them I would be when they first called me. Don't ask me how I know this formula.

They can call all they like. You will "promptly report" when you get there.

Those who know what a callout is know that when the clock says 4pm when the phone rings and report time is 4:40pm, it's a 40 minute callout. These are called facts, and when you foolishly say they can't happen it's important to explain it s l o w l y and s i m p l y. Do you now understand? I thought all our applicants required a college degree, not sure how you made it through without ever taking math but congratulations either way.
