Why wait around for ARCOS? What’s the point of the rest of section 23.M.1-6? #7 is your joker card to play!
See a trip. Call CS. Remind them 23.M.7 allows them to give you the trip directly. Screw your fellow pilots. Profit.
This is contractually legal!
Its legal but the reality is it doesn’t happen much. The trip needs to show up under 3 hours and the scheduler would need to not have pulled coverage at that point. In addition the sniper would need to have logged in and checked open time at the same time. You then have to get through to a scheduler. That alone is probably the deal killer. They also as mentioned need to pay protect the pilot who should have been awarded the trip. That’s a significant penalty for the company.
