Hope you're not the "lone Ranger", and remeber it is your personal individual decision!

i know there are at least a few other "rangers" making this same personal choice. i hope there are many, many more but i can only make my own choices and hope others will also take a stand. thanks for the support!

Better yet, why not elect not to be called at all by selecting -

VIPS: Crew Information: Misc Preferences: Draft Choice: You prefer not to be called

Update: Just wanted to be clear that I am only pointing out that there is a preference that can be selected by individuals if you don't want to be called. It's an option I didn't know about until somebody else told me.

It doesn't matter. I've been called with the draft choice of preferred not to be called. It's like the maids knocking on your door even though you have a do not disturb sign posted.

Write down the Trip #/date/seat of these draft calls and post them. If skeds is drafting, the open time phase has probably passed and if a name shows up on the pairing...

We might be suprised by what we see.

"Things that make you go... Hmmmmm?" Sounds like the "Do Not Call" program may have some holes in in. Perhaps we are being treated like a charity.

I want to know when they are drafting so I can keep track and inform my block rep and SIG.

Starting my fourth week of training in the back after getting booted out of the right seat. Nice to know that we are overmanned in the right seat.
