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.

Crew Schedulers should be required to do a 4 or 5 day trip once a year for ongoing training.. they should have to Shadow the Crews for that time. I honestly belive they dont have a Clue or just plain dont care how ever if you know they are breaking the FARs bring it up I doubt they want to get fined just my 2cents
