" Why are we going to the MAT?" we ask. "Don't question us we are the all omnipotent scheduling, we know where you need to go, never question the all powerful, pit-dwelling schedulers." (They didn't really say that, but it sounds good to me) So we go to the MAT.
2 hours later . . .
RING! Scheduling: "Where are you?" Us: "The MAT." Scheduling: "What are you doing there?"
meh
Lol, ya... the other day they put us up in a hotel an hour away from ATL, and we waited over an hour for a limo. Called scheduling to change my release time and a particular scheduler (if you want to know who he was, PM me), said they couldnt do that and I am always released 20 mins after block in. Keep in mind, that changing my release time was the difference between normal and min rest, with a long day the next day.
Long story short, our FA calls and talks to another scheduler and has his release time changed. Well, I called back, ready with my 'coming to Jesus' chat prepared for this particular scheduler, but another one answered and changed the release time..... meh... no consistency whatsoever in scheduling, it all depends on who you get. Schedulers have no idea what it is like for us and how hard we work. We are worn out after several full days of flying, especially when on reserve but they still wont budge when you need it most.
