I know you USED to have to call but don’t know the current guidance. Thanks,

Last I saw you still have to "notify" (not ask) crew scheduling. That can only be accomplished with a phone call( maybe thru that newfangled app on the ipad..not sure). However, from am international destination(especially) I haven't done it and haven't heard a peep....(10 year history)....I mean realistically what are they gonna do? make you retire?
Again...it's a notification vice a request. A few times I have , a few times I've tried(long wait time on hold) but numerous times i've made no attempt/forgot. YMMV
