The phone rings at 11:45 last night and it was DAL scheduling. I answered the call and the scheduler said I had a white slip in for a trip and he had a 1 day for me. It was an 0500 report for a turn to GRB.I would be back home by 9 am and it would put me at 75:00 for the month. If I wasn't over 70 already, I would have asked him why he was calling me, but I saw it as a quick and easy $600.
Does anyone know why he called me? He was specific about a white slip, and from what I know, a white slip doesn't apply to reserves.
I do have a white slip for next month, because I am a blockholder, but that shouldn't affect January.
I hope someone can clear this up for me.
You have been tricked by the strange but true February bid month. February starts on Jan 31 for DAL pilots and ends on Mar 1. So, your white slip is in effect tomorrow!
