Long call question
 

New guy here trying to make sure I understand the long call rules. On my last day off. I understand I dont have to answer the phone on my last day off. They can put something on my schedule and I am supposed to check my schedule before midnight and it cant show before noon on my first day? I know there are other rules, but is that the quick and dirty?

My main concern is as long as I dont answer the phone I dont have to show before noon.

Thanks

Not exactly true depends on when they put it on your schedule. Spelled out pretty well in the contract section 20 I believe.

They can give you a short call or field standby that starts no earlier than 1000.

check and screenshot your schedule at 6:01PM local base time, then don't answer your phone until midnight. I believe they are not putting any SC or FSB before noon on folk's schedules last day off.

Nope, they can assign a 1000 SC if they put it in your line before 1800. If not assigned by 1800 then 1200 show or shortcall at the earliest.

I get 1000 short call on my first day all the time. Only 10 hours notice is required for a short call per the UPA.

Read page 220 of the contract:

20-K-7-a thru
20-K-7-f

Spells it all out for you

Sorry, meant after 1800, SC has to be 12 hr notice, section 20-K-6-D. So with an 1800 screenshot showing LC, and by not answering your phone after 6, they can only call you at midnight and assign you to SC no earlier than noon.

Between 1800-23:59 short calls require 12 hr notice but after midnight to 1800 only 10 hrs. So after midnight your on the hook for 10am

This doesn't sound right... But what do I know? I start indoc on Tuesday.
