You just need to know your work rules & contract, & know them well. The schedulers do push things IMO, but if you know you're correct & stand your ground they'll back off. It's happened lately IMO because certain fleets are understaffed. If your wondering about my comment related to the 7er, it's just more sticky because it's a domestic & international category so it's more complicated. Whitlow doesn't apply to international flying, so scheduling can do things that they can't do to a domestic guy, & it's easy to mix that stuff up IMO.

Don't sweat it, it's doable. I'm just getting tired of it.
