Have you ever made a stand up PA because the AO is waffling and the customers are freaking out because jetcrew keeps updating them on departure times? Then, when the flight cancels the customers make underhanded comments to you and even get up into your face because now you’re the reason they’re experiencing JetBlue’s operational failure?
Have you ever sent an ACARS dispatch because you can’t get through to crew services to tell MOT that you’re going to time out because the taxi line is 1 hour, with absolutely zero response??????
Unlucky? Hardly. I’ve been abused beyond a reasonable doubt by an operation that lacks clarity and certainty integrity. I’ve been disrespected as an employee and more importantly as a professional pilot.

I believe you, no need for proof. My experience has just been different. In the past 2 months, I was about to time out 3 times. All 3 times, I had to call CS because they had no idea what was happening. When I made them aware, the first two times, they just took me off the trip. Once I got a hotel in place, once I was given. DH back to base. Never asked me to extend. The third one, I volunteered to extend, as it was go home leg.
And it's a negative to the ACARS timeout message as well. Like I said, not doubting you, my experience has just been different is all. Sorry you've had it happen to you. I would be grumpy about it as well.
