I am committed to a personal event until the start of my shortcall.
I figured this out by looking at icrew early

The Scheduling Reference Handbook addresses this on page 54.

"Occasionally SC assignments may report very shortly after the SC begins. As long as the report is at or after SC start it is a legal assignment....With extremely short report/push back situations, the Company has made a business decision and understands you may not be able to report by the Company's posted time. You are not expected to drive excessively fast, for example, simply to make the Company's posted departure."

I would fulfill your previous obligations. Then, I would promptly go to work. If that takes you more than 55 minutes, I wouldn't worry about it.

Even better when they start with a transcon on a 737. Welcome to 38B or 38E. Definite target for improvement next contract.

You must be talking about NYC 73N-B....we haven't had a positive day of reserve coverage in 3 months.

Thanks. It seems the price of those things is all over the place.

And I don't hear anything more about it. Once or twice they said "call when you're on the road", or call when you get to the employee lot, so we have a good ETA.

It's like a script...

and I'm only 35 minutes from the employee lot. I'm on reserve a lot and I've only been called that close to departure once every 2 years or so.

In these scenarios, I always as for paid parking and I've never been denied. It's nice to skip the employee bus ride. You just have to remember that you parked there and not in the employee lot.
