Calling in sick more than 12 hours out.
Shouldn't have to be said but when you call in sick you should wait to do it less than 12 hours out. You really should do it as close to departure time as possible but that's another discussion.

Are you not on any of the Facebook groups?

I'll give you $5 if you post that on The Line.
An extra dollar if you tag TW! |
The guy's a troll, but he's not wrong. I feel like legacy AA didn't think much about it, but it was definitely something known at legacy US. Burn the short call - the long call could very well be sitting at home.

Just for you I'll be sure to call in at least 12 hours before sign in next time.

Yeah, less than 12 is ideal, more than 24 works too. It is a pain in the ass to get that call at 9 or 10 at night as a long call. I would like to see LC unassignable after DOTC. Basically, rather than a 12 hour call out, just make it a 1 calendar day call out, which is the intent of having LC.

Sorry, but I cant buy the argument "screw the short call people". If you're on reserve, be in position to report if needed. I've sat in the crash pad on long call, because I knew I'd probably be getting called outside when I could make the commute, more than a few times.

And it’s not “screw the SC people”. The primary purpose of LC is to fill open trips that pilots haven’t picked up. The primary purpose of SC is last minute stuff like sick calls, time outs, pop up ferry flights, etc. |
