And in my seat position, people pick up every open trip.
busdriver ... I've been trying to tell you ... I've been on MD-11 Capt/MEM RB for most of the last 6 years. Nearly every schedule change request has been DENIED/INSUFFICIENT RESERVES! The only way I've been able to be home for family obligations has been to call my ACP or use vacation.
IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY ... THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!
