Specifically, does anyone check their schedule every 3-4 hours? Or does everyone just wait for a call? Plus, if they were to assign me SC for Sat would I get a call or will it just show up on my schedule? Will they have to give me a specific amount of notice for the SC assignment?
Thanks in advance.
They will call you if they are assigning you anything close to 12 hrs prior to call out. Now if they are assigning you a trip for the next day, they will not call you until after 1500. Sometimes if they have nothing better to do they will call earlier but ATL will be IROP tomorrow so do not expect that.
They will normally assign whatever is in the pot after 0800 local for tomorrows flying. It is released to reserves after 0800.
That said they populate the next days reserve list on I-Crew after the 0700 PCS run. When that run is complete it will populate the reserve buckets as well as show the pilot after the last run. This will give you a good idea how to sharp shoot your likeliness to getting a trip for the following day.
