A: If prior to reporting for your rotation, contact Crew Scheduling. If you have already reported for your rotation, contact Crew Tracking. You should then be transferred to the Duty Pilot who has two primary concerns:
• Determining how much rest you need to be available for duty, and
• Ensuring you know to complete an FFDR.
Tomato, tomaato. It’s one call. If you want to call tracking have at it. I’ve always called duty pilot and he/she has talked to tracking. You will have to fill out the form for the Fatigue review board which is a slight pain but it is what it is.
I just don’t get all the angst and feelings of intimidation. Could it be easier? Yes. Is it hard? No.
