No long call. Usually 3a.m. Till 5p.m. For the early reserve period. 10am-midnight and a late reserve of 7p.m. to 9 a.m. There are other reserve periods but you get the point. Usually 6 days in a row, 3hr call out from the time they call till you push. Your last day you are automatically released 6 hrs prior to your scheduled release time if you haven't been contacted. There is more but this is the highlights.

So a two engine taxi or taxi with APU is now recommended. Wonder if I'll get any captains that try to argue with me when I point that out.

The only time it affects our operation is during taxi in after landing or when you dispatch without an APU. Normal taxi-out is unaffected.

Maybe this will correct the problem of not paying attention to passenger comfort and running the APU a bit more. Almost all of our stations do not have ground air and the ones that do barely work. Then you get the pleasure of walking on a plane that's 88 degrees in the cabin
