Wait, wait, wait, are you advocating that we give in and allow the company greater useage of electronic notification to make their jobs easier??? Are you on the Scheduling FB page? For anyone who isn't, I highly recommend going over there and reading about the complete shenangians that scheduling has been pulling just in this last week alone. Illegal 23k for line holders. Reserves forced to fly rotations with less than the PWA-mandated 18 hours between release and report. Scheduling denying reserves when they call in to inform them they'll be non-contactable during the first 2 hours of SC. Assigning trips to SC pilots that report during their non-contactable window. Denying unable to commute. Telling pilots that CNO is legal notification for rest. Using Minutes Under when building rotations/reroutes when they should be using originally scheduled times. Not awarding payback days correctly. Trying to reroute pilots into flying a leg after they've report for a DH-only duty period. And on and on.

And then when you've been forced to fly and illegal RR/reserve assignment/23k assignment, the pay "specialists" deny, deny, deny. So then you have to send it to ALPA who has so much work dealing with all that crap that it'll take 3 months before a volunteer can even get to it. So you might get paid correctly 4-5 months after scheduling gave you the shaft.

This is why we are all pushing for pilots to know those "pages upon pages of nonsense." That "nonsense" was bought and paid for through numerous contract cycles and should not be thrown away on a whim because you can't be bothered to do some basic reading of the PWA, SRH, and forum/FB pages and understand the rules. 2-4 hours of time will pay you literally thousands of extra dollars throughout your career and give you more time at home because you will know the rules and force scheduling to abide by our PWA.
