So I’ve seen trips with report times at 9:50c 9:30, etc.
1. Is it illegal for crew skeds to even assign, let’s say a 9:50 am show? Should they be required to go to the next available, legal person?
2. I know they can “attempt” to get two way comm to see if you can take an earlier report time. If they can’t, can they still try to put that assignment on your sked to see if you’ll make contact with them. (Don’t know if skeds is pulling tactics like this)
3. I guess they can adjust the departure time back 10 mins (ie. was a 9:50 report but shifted to 10 am .... and they make departure later by 10). Again, if they have someone legally available, are they required to go to that person next on the list?
Thanks
1. Yes. Yes, they will have to if you don’t bite.
2. They can try, but don’t do it.
3. That won’t work. It’s not your trip until you’ve acknowledged it....
My opinion only, but at the last day off 1800 required check of the Master Schedule if I see a report time on my schedule that is before 1000 it is totally meaningless and I will just ignore it because it is not in compliance with current practices. Don't call them and definitely don’t check in for the trip. We're not on LSR until midnight. If they call then then the earliest trip they can assign is 1300. Putting it on your MS schedule could be an honest mistake or just fishing trying to get you to bite.
OTOH, If you want the trip, give them a call and take it.
