20.1.8 Measurement of standby duty
Standby duty will be measured as follows:
20.1.8(a) A flight attendant's planned Standby Duty will begin at the Company required time of Standby Duty availability and will end at the planned termination time of such Standby duty availability.
20.1.8(b) A flight attendant's actual Standby Duty will begin at the Company required time of Standby Duty availability and will end at the planned termination time of such Standby Duty availability, or, if called for duty the Company required reporting time for that duty, or, at the time he or she is specifically released from such Standby Duty availability.
20.1.9 Nothing in this clause will preclude the Company from notifying a flight attendant on Standby Duty of allocation to a duty for which the required commencement time is on a subsequent day of availability.
20.1.10 A flight attendant on Standby Duty may be notified at any time within the Standby Duty of an assignment to duty. The Company required reporting time for such duty must be no later than 90 minutes after the planned termination time of the Standby Duty.
20.1.11 If the report time is after the planned termination time of the Standby Duty, the time between the end of the planned Standby Duty and the required report time is Flight or Ground Duty time for pay purposes. Any additional duty time accrued under this subclause will not be included in a flight attendant's flight duty period hours or duty hour credits.
20.1.12 Standby Duty performed by a flight attendant is not included in the determination of flight duty period limitations or rest period entitlements following flight duty periods.
