Scheduling is a direct function of the SOC who reports to the 119 DO and the 119 Chief Pilot of the Airline
Scheduling refused to transfer me to the CP on call recently... said it was not their concern, LOL. I was angry that they manipulated the connection time in order make a pairing legal when I was gonna clearly timeout during the turn. I was like, um, I can just call them myself... he refused, probably because he knew he was being sketchy.
'So there I was...' I knew it, he knew it, I knew that he knew it, and he knew that I knew that he knew it.
