Crew scheduling not abiding by this. I recently got assigned a trip, while NC, with a report time at 1hr 50mins into SC. I had notified them the previous day of my desire to be NC, and it was noted on my ICrew sked.
Someone else a few pages back alluded to this scenario eventually falls into the fly now, fill out paperwork later bucket. So I made the decision to call CS to discuss, a hail mary to maybe make them yank me off. (I knew what the end result would be). CS supervisor definately did not wish to discuss much about this, they indicated there "was an agreement with ALPA on this, they will hold the plane". I spoke with the ALPA rep on this right after I got off the phone with CS, there is no "agreement". They just want to get you off the phone and move on. STS filed along with two crew assist reports.
So everyone knows, the NC provision is essentially a non-functioning PWA lever to pull. CS'ings interpretation is very different than how it is supposed to be. This is what I learned this week.
