Nothing really will happen everything in SBS is time stamped
if there wasnt anything that you needed to be notified of then there no problem if you dont check out.
however if you dont checkout and theres a trip the next day that we needed you to be pre-notified of and if we catch it and see that you didnt check out well, there lies the problem. Checking out early from a flight assignement prior to the 20 min relase you call in wont save you either wait the 20 min from block in and then checkout.
I have a ? for the pilots
I had a l2 who failed to call me the day before the start of his window during the call in time.
i waited till 1800 for him to call he never did before i give anyone an SD i give them and opportunity to make it right. I called him.
would you have done the same ?
I called because he had an assignment on his line for two days that he needed to be notified of.
Well it is nice that you did it...
Would I have done the same, probably not unless it was a new person or I had the time. It is our responsibility and we know the rules.
The first day on-line at Comair, I had a ready reserve and I read the "fictitious one minute flight" time that they put on it, instead of the report time (which is an hour earlier) and was an hour late. Crew Scheduling calls my house wondering where I am at, then I realize wow I F@#$ed up. The lady gave me a break and just assigned me a flight to work and it left on time, I appreciated it.
and really getting an SD
once for something like that is not a big deal...If you truly forgot, you probably won't forget again for a long time. Do it more than a couple times then obviously your in for some trouble.
