Check your ops specs to ensure it’s a legal destination and make sure they have accommodations for your entire crew. SOC will definitely take a “ready, fire, aim” attitude when it comes to patching together the flight schedule when using standbys.

Still haven’t heard a single syllable of apology from the company for that debacle, but I did have 3 voicemails from the CPO inquiring about the 3 minute delay we took leaving DFW that night. Just to make it CRYSTAL clear where their priorities really lie.
