I know a reserve pilot is on long call on any on-call day on which he is not assigned to short call and I know what the ladder says but that's why I ask if you're still on LC.
But sometimes I have SC for the next day but they take it away and assign a trip most of the time with an earlier report but all > 12 hours. Sometimes they keep me on SC and go to the next LC guy. It goes either way and I was just trying to figure if that is schedulers discretion or there was a rule?
Will keep a lookin'.
Yes it should go to pilot #1, you are still on long call and next for flying even though you have a SC the next day. They have called me at night and assigned a trip and taken me off SC. You can call ALPA on Mon and I'm sure they would tell you the same thing. But I wouldn't put it passed Scheduling to just do what they want. The last few months I have been 2 for 3 on items they have missed with giving out trips. I was told sorry new people.
