So here's the story of screw scheduling this morning already...
(names are made up)
4:15am- Jon gets called and asked to break contract and show up in 1 hour for a DH to DCA, flight to MKE, DH to PHL, DH To ORF.
4:50am- Jon calls back says he doesn't want to break contract and asks if a ready reserve can cover it to which scheduling replies..."he's already been called out"
4:51am- Jon calls the ready reserve FO only to see if he indeed was called out... the answer was no.
5:25am- Jon goes to airport for DH to find out it has been cancelled
7:01am- I get called out for a Repo and DH back
7:45am- Jon decides to leave airport and come back to the crashpad
8:00am- Jon is walking in the door in uniform as I am getting ready to walk out and we both wonder where the logic in crew scheduling really is. To us it made more sense to use the guy at the airport in uniform rather than calling out someone else...

The real question is... why do they flat out lie to us?
