So surprise surprise, they assigned the proffer trips to reserves today, so that sequence got assigned, then since the 48 hour window closed today, they processed those requests and I got a denied because it was already a crewed flight HI6. But it's just on the reserve guys sequence. So 1) is it a dick move to appropriate this? Or do most reserve guys appreciate it? 2) is it as simple as calling up scheduling and telling them and then it's done?
So it sounds like you put in for a flight that started the day before the trip started. In that case you would have to call CS per our contract before 8 am to request the OT trip pick up.
I don't know if it's a dick move. They are protected on hotels and most of them will enjoy not having to do it. If it's a new guy that needs consolidation then oh well. Get the OT
