My case is different, we showed at the airport, and CS called us, my partner answered first and was informed that we had a 4 hr seat, delay at the airport, so they gave him "us" a 4 hr later show time. He said fine I'll let the crew know.
When I came back to the gate, he informed me of the change.
I said BS! Show time was 15 minutes ago when we got to the gate, mind that we had a MYR-BWI-LAS ahead of us.
This 4 hrs, would have reset our duty time.
It took us, both more than two hrs and countless phone tries to CS, to have them start the duty time at our schedule/actual time changed back.
Lucky you were able to get someone on the phone in two hours. Took me over an hour to call in sick. Tell the scheduler "My duty time started at XXXX, plan accordingly".
I love it!, gave up on calling to chk in, I usually get the call around dep time. I wonder what would happen if you do the same when you are sick!
CS- "Pilot xxxxx where are you?"
Pilot- "home sick"
CS- "you didn't call"
Pilot-" I tried, the whole dpt was busy"
CP- " you are a disappointment".
Pilot- "can't ever do anything right"
Dr Phil- " are you stupid"
Your wife- " are you getting fired?"
Cheers.
