UA short call
I apologize if this has been answered already. I could not find it after searching all over the web and forum.
I understand for UA that you will be on call until you hold a line. I'm confused about the short call.
I have read that a UA FA will be scheduled for 6 days of short call where you have to be available to report within 3 hours.
Short call can be assigned with 10 hours notice if given before 1800.
Is this accurate?
Reason being I currently live near IAD and would love to request to transfer should I get the position because I would not have to pay rent immediately as I live with family. Does it seem realistic to get a crash pad for the short call days and then stay home for the rest?
I'm
-1 hour from Dulles
-1 hour and 15 from DCA
-2 hours from BWI (my main concern)
Thank you again, and apologies for the endless reserve system questions.
