Second question. So you can't schedule your back end deviation until you check in. What if the flight oversells before you check in? Will it still allow you to book on it or are you out of luck for that flight.
I just did that, twice - first time scheds said paperwork had to be submitted by the line check guy - that was wrong. So I waited until the O.E. student showed - then the scheduler had to speak to the line check guy directly. Second time in middle of a six day Scheds said they had to speak to the line check pilot, I gave him the phone , got released and was booked on the next flight to my base (it was oversold) it was done automatically once I was released . The line check pilot said there was no requirement to talk to scheds - but being the middle of the rotation there was no automatic release. Be proactive with the line check pilot , never got the same answer even from a supervisor in Schedualing
