Another tid bit I learned about scheduling: if you are on days off and have a trip on day 1, and you don't confirm said trip by 2100 they will just straight up remove the trip from your schedule and fling you back on RAP1 like a cheap piece of meat. Even if your sign in time is in the afternoon.

I called and went around in multiple circles with a scheduler over this. Apparently it's a new policy. Too many pilots weren't confirming their trips, forcing scheduling to call them at midnight. Ok...but that doesn't change anything if your sign in time is in the afternoon, right? Apparently that doesn't matter to scheduling. They just made this a blanket policy for anyone and everyone who doesn't confirm by 2100. The bastards.

Just a heads up. Oh, and good luck to all my brothers in South Florida. Keep us posted and let us know if there is anything we can do. I volunteered for those ferry/relief flights...stay strong.
