Don't set people up to get themselves handed a no show because they read what you wrote. It's simply not the way things are done. Never said I like it, or support it, because its a massive detriment to my quality of life, but it is, even if you whine about it, the way it is.
Just to clarify something from earlier. There is not a mandatory 9 hour schedule check. The cutoff for them to add something is 9 hours prior to the end of a normal non-fly day. The deadline for your schedule check is not until 0200.
