Another meltdown in progress. But we're properly staffed, right?
Had a brilliant one tonight- ARCOS called for a 2-day GS for an already delayed flight. Half way through the process, they cancelled the window. I notified ALPA scheduling (thanks, tunes!), and a CA is getting paid for that.
I looked it up, and they had rerouted another CA into it on the first leg of his trip. Knowing the CA and that he knows the contract, I figured he'd refuse it. He apparently did. 35 minutes later, I got another ARCOS call for the same flight on yet another 2 day rotation number.
Trying to go on the cheap, they had to pay 2 captains and delayed the flight an hour beyond the already delayed time.

Yep, I was called twice tonight for an inverse assignment I was not legal to fly. Today would have been day 6 with no 30 break and it was for a 3 day with no long overnight.

Whoah whoah whoah. I got a 2 day greenslip today. Got in car and drove 10 minutes, called scheduling to tell them I might be a little late if the traffic was bad, but they put me on hold for a few minutes and then told me that the trip was cancelled. Am I entitled to anything? My mentor said no. I’m on reserve if that matters.

From my perspective, they often lose the forest for the trees. For instance, they'll chop up a 3-day, make a 2-day green slip out of the front, and then have to make a another 2-day green slip on the back. Weird.

You forget about this part of the contract as it’s rare a rotation is NOOP’d. However if a reserve guy gets a GS and gets to sign in only to be delayed for hours until the trip is NOOP’d that GS becomes 2 hours suit up pay towards guarantee. A pretty raw deal IMHO. I think they should at least get 1 day above guarantee.

Recently I started taking screenshots of everything when the ARCOS alerts start rolling in.

I wouldn't refuse a first leg reroute. That's a jackpot reroute. It's against the contract. You'll essentially get triple pay.
