MEM320 at least till next month...... theres no flying going on in mem and they do it just because they can. we have 2-3 banks of flights a day there now and maybe 6-8 airbus flights a day on the airbus yet they keep stacking short calls. they staff shortcalls in mem like they do in dtw yet the base isnt a fraction of the size.

Sunday (off day): Check schedule at 1500, SC next day at 0500. Commute to NYC on day off.
Monday: SC from 0500 to 0500 on Tuesday.
Tuesday: End SC at 0500, no trip. At 10am, they assign SC for the next day. Surprise, you get it again! Can't commute home because I have SC the next day too early to commute in.
Wednesday: SC from 0830 to 0830 on Thursday.
Thursday: End SC at 0830, commute home only to find a 3 day trip on Friday. Report time? 0700. Turn AROUND, commute back to NYC.
Rinse, repeat.
this ^^^^^^
it SUCKS for commuters
