[QUOTE=Red Swingline;3746050]#1 pilot on a 17,000 pilot seniority list gives the company the means to wake him at 4am, does nothing to prevent it, then calls them idiots. What a world. I’m far, far from #1 and have never been woken involuntarily by scheduling during my 20+ year multi-airline career. Of course, I also don’t know what a dsl line is, so perhaps that’s a factor.
Where I live is the limits my internet options, thus still using DSL, but just got a Verizon modem, supposedly it's faster and more reliable, jury's still out on that.
My first point was, Batch Size. It used to be 10 pilots at a time, now I guess it's unlimited, so everyone gets a call at 4am! Brilliant ! And that was for a 5am sign in! Who can make that, even if you live in PTC? I checked later to see who took it, a junior LCA and they didn't push until after 7am.
My second point is; they didn't limit the call to MY phone, they also called my wife's phone! WTF? There has to be a way to prevent that while still keeping her number available as an -emergency only- contact, but that would require Delta IT to actually enter the 21st century.
