While SD may have issued an obnoxious memo, he doesn't seem to be following it up with action. I think most of the violations took place in the first month of 117.

Understand, I am waiting for them to violate my contract. They haven't. If they want to give me a day off, cover the trip with a green slip and call me in for a carpet dance, so be it. I'm happy to take one for the team. Until they do it, there is nothing for me to grieve.



Did you acknowledge your short call one hour out? That is your right in the contract.


I get a short call when I come off of an X day. This short call always has started at 1200 or latter. I have to acknowledge by 0200, I like sleep so I acknowledge when assigned the short call.

It is my understanding once my short call starts I have to be readily available. If I am given another short call the following day I acknowledge within 2 hours of the assignment.

The only trips I have been given are when I am sitting short call. I will get a call towards the end of my short call putting me on rest for a trip the following day. This is not a robo call. Since I am talking to Sched's I have acknowledged.

I do not see where the contract is being broken, but I am not the smartest guy in the world.
