Actually, there was never any real dispute that I recall with getting released the day before, it clearly says “when in the departure city.” What the dispute was about was if you got to keep the hotel or not. What Schedueling was doing was cancelling guys hotel reservations. So it was clarified that you get released AND you get the hotel. If a schedueler does not release you I would absolutely push it to Wellman if you have to - and if they still balk I would file a grievance.


Like I said earlier, getting released is my default strategy and I have done it numerous times in the last 12 years both on reserve and as a line holder.
