When I inquired with DALPA, they said they wouldn't take up the issue since their records showed I didn't check my schedule after 1500 base time the day prior to starting reserve. I was watching "Daily Trips Covered" but neglected to view "Current Schedule." I can't back it up with timestamps, but my dropped rotation was awarded sometime during my commute. I guess I didn't comply with schedule checking requirements, but see it as a moot point due to when the trip was assigned (sometime between midnight and 0300 base time).
= Free day off with no pay.
I thought 117 made the 3 pm check on the last day off an illegal item? The FAR said you can't be compelled to do anything for the company on your days off. So how did DALPA use that as an excuse not to grieve
As for me I was given a SC and did not acknowledge until 9 hrs prior. I had a discussion with a supervisor as the first scheduler who wanted me either to take the original start to the sc as I called in voluntarily even though it was less than 10 hrs, or take a PD. The supervisor slipped the sc so I would be in compliance, but it took a bit of talking and coming up with alternatives.
