It simply means is it a rotation that you otherwise couldn't be assigned as a standard reserve assignment. For example, coming off a vacation day scheduling cannot assign you anything that reports before 1800. 2 days prior at 0900 when they run coverage, they can award you a GS "less than 18 hours to report" that reports at 1759. So over 48 hours prior to report you can be awarded a GS "with less than 18 hours to report". This confuses many people.

Having said all that, since this was a multi-day rotation that started on your last LC day you were not eligible to be assigned the rotation as a standard reserve assignment. Scheduling should code this as F on the daily trip coverage report (not G). This code will correctly apply the first duty period's pay above reserve guarantee. The net result in this instance is you get the full rotation value above guarantee (day 1 F code and days 2-4 on X days) plus either 2 PB days and a PR (if the rotation released before 1500) or 3 PB days and a PR (if the rotation released after 1500).

23.M.5.: “Open time with a scheduled report of:

b. less than 18 hours after award/assignment will be covered under Section 23 O.”

The ladder that shows it is “23.O.” Open Time Award/Assignment Sequence for Rotations Reporting Less Than 18 Hours After Initial Attempt to Contact Pilot (Short Notice Ladder)

23.O.14.: “Pilots (including long call reserve pilots whose rotation would report within 18 hours of initial attempt to contact) who have submitted GSs (by proffer, in category, in seniority order)”

The pay is listed under 23.U.1.c.: “A long call reserve pilot who is awarded a GS rotation with a report that is within 18 hours of the first attempted contact will receive single pay, no credit for the first duty period of the rotation (in addition to any other pay and credit for the bid period).”

I don’t think the short notice ladder would apply when 2nd day coverage begins at 0800 PBT per 23.M.2.

I had never checked iCrew or MiCrew, no phone call, nothing. Shenanigans.

When they called to assign the trip to me (within my SC window) I told them I was not notified of SC yesterday (for today). They first said I got a call. A quick check of the phone showed I hadn't. They then said I might acknowledged it in MiCrew, which I don't remember doing, but I may have. But then they went on to say they don't know how I acknowledged it, but that I did.

So is there a way I can check if I did?

Scheduling has exactly one job, to put a butt in a seat, but they seem to be afraid of the telephone. Had a buddy a long time ago, like 2014, and they don’t bother to call him for a short call assignment. Report time comes, and they call him. Say “where are you?” he’s like “I have no idea what you’re talking about”. As it transpired, there was never any call. Oh well.

He goes into the CPO, and they just shrug. Point being is this isn’t a recent thing or even that uncommon.

I’ve never heard of another airline being run that way.
