The pilot said they had until 2 hours prior to fix it and the scheduler argued with him when he asked for a supervisor. Supervisor finally agreed and fixed it. This is just one of two shady (illegal...) things done today just in my category. But hey, we got their word they'll only abuse 23m7 inside 8 hours, so we got that going for us...
The problem with your argument is that M7 only comes into play when they intentionally skip a step in coverage.
What you’re describing is a an award error or omission. The scheduler and/or supervisor were in error calling this an M7 use (a lot of things are called M7 that actually aren’t) and for them to do so actually jeopardizes the company’s settlement agreement. That phone call will be listened to by the scheduling committee, and I suspect this will be on the Company’s desk at 0800 Monday morning.
