And one last thing, don’t answer your phone on days off, ever. And if you are a line holder don’t answer your phone, full stop.
so, you’re a lineholder. You’ve got a MFE turn followed by a HOU overnight….. but they change it to AMA turn and ELP overnight…. You don’t answer the phone. ? What happens?
you show up at the MFE turn and another captain/fo is there … ??
it doesn’t matter if you answered your phone. Like it or not, you’re doing the AMA turn and the ELP overnight. Why??? Because as a line holder, you’re owned by the company from day 1 check-in time to day-4 checkout time.
just answer the phone and do as you’re told. You’re doing it anyway!
