So they call you; you don't even have your phone on because you've been assigned a trip earlier; and you fail to respond back and you are officially notified somehow! Get ready; the infamous phone message left for you on your day off now states you have been notified of a change in your schedule.
Just one more reason for my vote.....how can this pass???
Looks to me like a yes vote means we are all potentially reserve/reassign pilots 24/7. Just don't respond, and it's considered confirmed?! WHAT?
All they're saying is if your flight's gonna be delayed they make an attempt to let you know as a courtesy. Doesn't affect your duty time or anything associated with 117. You want to ignore it, not check AIS, not check Merlot, just show up at the airport & then find you have a 2-hour delay, that's your priviledge. No way from reading this can I conclude we are all on reserve 24/7. Did you read the section of the contract that states a linehoder cannot be used as a reserve?
