UPS cell phone policy

[mrvmo]

Speaking of which........is there anybody here who was in the industry before cell phones and pagers? If so, how did reserve work? Surely you weren't obligated to sit by the phone and wait for the company to call. Just wondering???

Well, you had to hang out in the vicinity of “your” airplane and be ready to spin the prop upon hearing “CONTACT!”

Ok, so maybe I’m not THAT old

What you had to do was sit in your hotel room, crash pad or wherever and stay within hearing range of the phone. For example, if you went to eat and knew you would be gone, you'd call skd and tell them you were going to eat and you'd be back in vicinity of the phone in about an hour.
