But if it does appear in the OMA, then it is a legal requirement from the BCAA, either way, I generally do check my AIMS at a reasonable time before my duty commences to prepare, but on the occasion of min rest, then sometimes no...

Nobody needs to report for a Stand By duty since it is a period during which the company places a restraint on crew who would otherwise be off duty. During the Standby period, crew may be called at short notice for a duty.
There is no need to check AIMS two hours before a stand by duty.
Crew is required to chek AIMS two hours before a assigned duty (a block or a simulator) only.
Who has a different interpretation let us know.

However, having said all that, I am also aware of where we are working. Have a good rest!

Keep it simple, once you've checked out after a duty in AIMS there is no further requirement to check your AIMS until within 2 hours before your next rostered duty.
Your assigned duty is for you to plan your rest for the next duty. After your rest period has started, there is no way for the company to force an earlier report of a next duty. They can only advice you of a delay thereafter without disturbing your rest, therefore you should check your AIMS within 2 hours before your next report, as there might just be a surprise in store
If you've checked AIMS/IVR within 2 hours before your next report and there was no change, then crewing becomes responsible to advice you of any changes

Checking aims 2 hours before your reporting time is not a new thing, the memo was just a reminder of an old issue. would you rather go to ops and then find out about the delay or cancellation!!!.
If 2 hours before your duty you are still sleeping then there are 2 possible reasons for that, either you are living in Amwaj or you dont take shower.

Its irrelevant whether we are sleeping or not having a shower, but the fact remains that in a way during my supposed UNINTERRUPTED rest, I have to actually get up and check my duty. Why cant they simply inform me via sms ( as per their normal practice ) that I have changes.

Crew scheduling may send a text message (SMS) informing crew members to check their AIMS system for the applicable changes.
Please note that SMS text messages are not considered a means of notification for schedule changes, rather it is a means of prompting the crewmember to check AIMS/IVR for the applicable changes.

Movenpick 22nd Nov
It's time for Q&A at the Movenpick on Nov 22nd! Rumors have it that a pay rise may be one of the "new strategies" From what I gather, can be as much as 30% for office workers and 20% for flying personnel. Anyone else with different numbers?

Great! This means that GFA will loose another 70 pilots next year! Something might happen then. But according to the geniuses in planning, we are fat of pilots. Then I guess they can afford to slim down... Great! Just ... great!
