In some categories (I believe 220 in the northeast is one), the company has filled so many pilots up via 23.M.7, that very few pilots are eligible for 23.M.7. I have complained directly to chief pilots along with others. They don’t care. The mentality is cover trips at all costs with no regard to trip coverage ladder. Just use 23.M.7 for everything. This is why calling in is happening. The company is encouraging it.

I’m livid. I would eliminate auto accept without thinking twice if we could also get rid of 23.M.7 I refuse to do an IA or GS unless it starts with a deadhead to my home airport. I’m not commuting for a trip that may or may not be there. Until this mess gets sorted out, I can go without premium pay and enjoy my boat, golf, and hockey.
