Because this has nothing to do with days the operation is in meltdown or rolled up into a ball. It has to do with when flights are retimed by a few minutes to an earlier departure more than 48 hours out, and a pilot isn't on duty prior to the sequence, and then chooses not to to acknowledge the new moved up flight time by returning crew scheduling's call or whatever prior to 2200 2 days before the sequence start. Only THEN could a pilot be placed into recovery obligation. Even if there was a meltdown..have you ever seen a flight moved to an EARLIER departure time 2 days out as a result? Delay and cancel flights, sure..but move up? Even if they did, how much would a previously scheduled flight have to be moved up for it to go from "commutable" to "non commutable" for the pilot flying it? Multiple hours? PM to AM? The company doesn't do this for existing sequences or scheduled flights. It would not only mess up the pilot's schedule, but every passenger on the flight as well. Come on, man. We can probably find other things to be mad about.Originally Posted by GhettoJet
Once again, because? What language prevents management, on a day when the operation is rolled up into a ball, from augmenting reserves with lineholders thrown into RO? It may be there, and if so, it's nothing to worry about. I'd like to see it.
