For me, I never even considered being on the list until a great trip opened up, yet it just fell inside the 48 hours so wouldn't allow me to pick up. called scheduling and they said I could have it, yet my name had to be on the list to do so. I guess the big question is when are we helping them. Isn't it helping them if we pick up a trip a week in advance? still taking flying off the books.

All I can say is I'm not in the realms of being a choker. I'm fairly senior and they still made it to me twice this last week for JA (which I never returned calls for). But one thing is certain.......its way over the top to throw into the likes of a scab.
