CS is a hard job, especially for a non-pilot to learn how things work and understand the nuances. I have found you attract more flies with honey than with vinegar. Said another way, never raise your voice in an argument you k ow you are going to win.
Yeah there is no point ever getting upset on the phone to anybody. It just undermines your position.
The other thing I think I saw schedulers do today that night be illegal is this:
I had another GS in today for a 2 day rotation on my PB day. About 4 hours before the rotation signed in I got called for an IA for that very same rotation. I impulsively agreed knowing it wouldn't cost me an extra green slip that I might use later.
Anyway about 2 hours later, after the trip had been awarded to me as an IA I got an arcos greenslip notification for that very same trip.
It's like they were trying to cover their tracks as the GS should have gone through the arcos process before the IA. With the IA being assigned 4 hours out they had plenty of time to run it through more arcos batches.
Anyway I think I screwed myself because I don't see the section section 23.Q.6.c.exception language in the Inverse Assignment Section R. So I'll probably not get that 2 day reserve assignment dropped the day after I get in from my IA due to a compensatory PB day .
It's a complicated business trying to fly for as much money with as little work as possible!
