There are guys getting a hundred hours a month to sit at home and me, trying to sharpshoot OT to recover credit from dropping trips earlier in the month, is panicking to get above 60. So I have to ask, what has changed? Has there been a 6 fold increase in people auto-accepting? Or is the company running super lean and leaving scheduling desks unstaffed?
This bring up a discussing an FO and I were having at cruise. Would it be considered deal making if you called scheduling and told them if they run a trip for IBWS, that you'd take it? NOT have them award it directly to you, but just run the step, seems perfectly fine, but I wouldn't be shocked to see some consider it deal making. Of course, that's assuming you could reach a scheduler. Maybe keep a teams chat open.
