Two cancelations today due to unavailable pilots and dozens of emails from scheduling recently asking..begging.. for pilots to fly trips on their days off. I got a call after my last trip begging me to "help them out and do them a favor and they'd make me a deal" if I extended myself into my day off to cover flights the next day.
