- - Assigned from FSB... (https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/united/112657-assigned-fsb.html)

Yeah I just took the call at 4, acknowledged the assignment, broke out the ipad and did my usual thing. Got to the gate about 15 min later and pushed about 5 late. Didn't ask about add pay, but do wish I would have asked for short term parking when I first saw the assignment (before I got to the field).

The amount of time between FSB and actual push is not defined nor codified so your reply should be, I'll get there when I get there.

Quite frankly I see no reason to be hog-tied to any one local at the airport for FSB so if I decided to go for a run, all the while staying on the airport property, it could take a little while to get to the aircraft.

Our esteemed negotiators assured us during negotiations that this lamest of lame piece of the CBA would never be used and if it were, it would only be during dire emergencies.

Guess they got that one wrong !!

Read what I posted from the CIA folks.

That is the official union position on the subject.

If the company gives you a quick departure, and you need the full 60/90 from notification, fine. Let them know when they notify you of the assignment.

60/90 is the standard. If you can do it quicker, fine. But if you can’t meet that standard, just be ready to answer the question why not if asked.

Pretty simple.

As I said earlier, pushing earlier likely wouldn’t be an issue, but accepting an assignment that has less than the (required?) time at the time of the assignment may become one.
