I got assigned a canceled flight to BNA around 130 on Friday (the day of the big storm in JFK). I noticed it on SBS and sat and waited for my notification. 637 rolls around, 7 minutes after my report was supposed to be...and i, of course, get a call from scheduling asking where I am (they never notified me). He told me to hurry into the airport, but then I asked him why SBS and delta.com says the flight is canceled. The 5 seconds of silence on the phone made me stop getting ready, and i sat back down on the couch. "oh, uh....yea that's canceled..nevermind, we'll call you if we need you."
Those poor schedulers.
Got to love that. Early in the day we were supposed to Dh to NYC. Well I noticed the DH flight had been canceled along with all the others, we called and told them that it shows canceled and they agreed. Well 3 hours later, they call us and tell us we are DH'ing to NYC on the same flight (it is still canceled) to over night, then taxi a plane then DH back to CVG. As the CA is on the phone with scheduling, I call Flight Control to see if this taxi leg is really going to happen (they are in the same room as the schedulers). Nope that taxi leg has been canceled. Well we sat around another two hours for them to figure out the plan that we finally executed to some what less than perfection.
I love these kind of days.
