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?
CS has been doing this a lot lately. Glad you caught it! Glad you caught it early! File a grievance if they don’t fix it. Seriously. It’s been happening.
Little tit for tat move like this by-CS is why we have a wedge of trust & negativity between our pilots & CS many time over. [MENTION=55356]LineUpAndPay[/MENTION] call the union they’ll have your back & get you answers.
If the Rsv guy on his last day whom they gave the OT trip you submitted for (is NOT on consolidation) then I strongly believe it was not a mistake and the same CS is doing this more often. I’ve been hearing stories about your exact issue going on. Contact the Union anyways.
Folks be attentive to your request and denials. If denied RESEARCH why. Start getting into the contract on your free time on RAP/Standby. Contact your rep (new FOs & especially new CA’s to ENY) with questions.
