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.
Yea that is crap. The scheduler the other night wouldn't adjust the report time for a trip that only showed 5:30 for the rest(I was DS and scheduling was getting silly), when they wanted to notify me of it. We went back and forth about how he needed to change it to make it legal or I wouldn't take the trip. His response, you need to just call us when you get there so we can adjust it then, because we don't know what to adjust the rest on. The guy wouldn't just adjust it based of the ETA just to make it legal...I'm not sure what his problem was. At least I got it tape recorded that he refused to make it legal and that I'm protesting it, I don't accept illegal trips not without it getting documented, even with the intent to make it legal after the fact.
