Our show time is one hour before departure time. We are not required to have mobile phones, computers, or any devices. So if they want to change our schedule, they either get a crew tracker or Cheif pilot to notify us in person or more than likely, you don't see your name on the release. Which at that point you are required to contact scheduling. It's been this way for almost 10
years with no detriment to completion factor.

You guys have far bigger fish to fry than bickering over checking in.
What airlines specifically? Even so, if we don't do it any it's been working for almost ten years, why would we want to required that for the other 2/3 of our pilots? This is but one small QOL concession among many other huge ones that one side is ok to have the other take. When it should be the other way around!
