m8rvk, not wanting to take the thread off course, but you are required to report 60 minutes after your call. Therefore, taking into consideration you need to get yourself ready, drive x distance to work, park up, wait for the staff bus or walk to the crew room/terminal, clear security etc., I don't see how, should you receive that call at say 05:00, you would be able to make it in on time for a 06:00 report if you were still in bed pumping up the Zzzzzzs at 05:00, even if you lived next door to the airport. As I say, FR don't call you in the middle of the night but sometimes just before your official standby commences & personally I don't see a problem with that, in fact it can take the pressure of a rush into work on the limit off your shoulders.
Again another thread is used to simply have a pop at Ryanair for a storm in a teacup, I'm afraid!
