I call crew scheduling and they don’t tell me why he got it, just that he did. Then I get in touch with someone from DALPA scheduling and they are able to get the phone tapes and confirm this guy called CS and said since he lives 15 minutes from JFK he can do it. He called CS and cut the rest of us off at the knees!!

Now I may not have gotten it anyway as someone senior to me may have accepted it but this is bull crap!

I then call Pro Standards and although he agreed this is horse**** practice by our fellow pilots it’s not at their level and best advice is I call him and call him out. What good is that going to do?

Can we compile a list of these people that do that just as you would a scab during a strike? One way or another I want this scab to know we are all watching him.

Best part, it was an empty charter ferry for a trip tomorrow so no passengers were left waiting at an airport or inconvenienced.
