Basically, for all of us on reserve right now it's a total crap shoot. We have no clue what's going on.

To everyone on reserve right now, I know it's hard to keep them honest without the reserve transparency we had on FLICA, but please follow the contract and don't do any favors. Proper staffing levels and competent schedulers will prevent THEIR problems of running out of reserves.

It's just rude to not answer someone's email. If they replied with, "we don't have an answer at this time," I'd think, "wow, how do you clowns run a f@cking airline," but at least I'd know they were paying attention to the concerns of the pilots.

scheduler 1 calls me at 0401 to give me a SAN turn with a 0714 report. Ok. While I am STILL on the phone with Scheduler 1, Scheduler 2 Calls. I hang up with 1 and click over to 2 and she tells me I have a SAN turn with a 1745 report. I tell her I just talked to her colleague and she might want to lean over and ask what's going on. Yep, definitely a 1745 report.

Fast forward to about 0900, I get a call from Scheduler 3 telling me I have a SAN turn with a report of 1315. lol, Ok. Fast forward again to about 1000, and I look in IOCC and there is nothing on my schedule, so I call to see what'ts going on.

Scheduler 4 has no idea I was EVER supposed to do a SAN turn and didn't really want to commit to what it was I was actually doing. I finally got her to specifically say I was on a RAP with no report time then she hung up on me.
