Got it. Laughable.

Either way, even If this DID happen, a quick call to CS and you could have been paid for the trip (or gotten the credit if you hadn’t broken guarantee yet) to sit at home. Huge win. Your loss, I guess.

both CS and the union are available to explain reserve awards/assignments pretty much 24/7 (union the following day if it’s after hours but they can still look it up). Try it out.

no koolaid here, hold their feet to the fire. If you let them get away with something they shouldn’t have, you’re just doing the entire pilot force a disservice.
