I am currently trying to get on companies stand by lists to be called out in January if people drop out but does this mean that from January 1st they can call me at any time to say I need to fly out the following day or do you get some indication of when you might be needed a bit more in advance? 

Also, if anyone has worked half a season before, then any reassurance would be great as I am a little nervous about heading out late and joining everyone after they have already had months to get to know everyone, their roles and the resort, I just hope it is not too isolating?!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!
