Since the PDR response was that it was a legal trip, I can only assume I am mixing up the PRL and trip notifications (the PRL would have happened at 1947 one night, and the trip assigned at 0800 the next morning). Sorry for the confusion, I was not trying to mislead anyone.
My original post was about the fact that most notifications happen well in advance of my show time, not just 14 hours prior. Even if I was assigned the DRO, and saw the JC when I awoke, I had over 33 hours notice, just not the 45 hours I thought I had.
Sorry for your luck on PDRs. I have only filed three or four, and none have taken more than a couple of days to get a reply. This particular one was submitted just after 2100, and the response was in my inbox the next morning prior to 0900. I think 12 hours is pretty good, all things considered.
As a RSV pilot, you should check the DRO, as that is your official assignment for the following day. JetCrew only relies on whatever input CS put on CrewTrac (Master Schedule) and believe it or not, they make mistakes and sometimes things don’t match.
I’ve had different RAP start times while doing SCL, as well as trips assigned to me while in SCR/LCR, that were supposed to be assigned to someone else. All I had to do was to call them and they either corrected by matching whatever was published on the DRO or dropped the trip from my schedule.
I get it that it’s easy to just acknowledge whatever comes your way on JetCrew and go on with life. But if you have time to post on here, you should have the 30 seconds to open the DRO too. We all should put a little bit of effort and hold the company accountable. It’s as simple as that.
