Question… Had a white slip in for a day trip tomorrow with all parameters met, scheduling assigned it to a reserve without running the white slips. Do I just call? What’s usually the remedy? Does the most senior guy get paid? Will the remove it from the reserve and re run it?

Dod you see the trip in OT and then put in a slip? If so then it is nearly 100% certain that they had already run a trip coverage report before you submitted your slip. If your Slip isn’t in when the TC is generated then you won’t get called. This is why if you want close-in WS you need to do the rolling blanket WS process to ensure you get called for anything that pops up.

Then your first step should always be to call scheduling first and see what happened. Make sure if they did run the WS step that you were on the TC, and if not yet try to figure out if there were any parameters in your slip that caused you to not get called. If they skipped the WS step then that should be 23m7 to the most senior eligible pilot (probably not you). If they ran WS and you were not properly called then you probably have a case for getting paid for it. Either way no one here can help any further until you contact scheduling.

I usually start with my slip to ensure I didn't check put in a parameter I didn't mean to. I also check my standing request qualifiers to ensure nothing is in there. Another thing to check is if it was check flight, if you didn't check the box for that, then you wouldn't get called. All that checks good, call scheduling.

Thanks all, I’ll contact scheduling and see what they say. I always do the rolling blanket slip during the week so I was surprised no call.
Update, called scheduling for whatever reason I was missed on the callout so they ended up paying me.

As it should have been all along! Congrats. This was PWA noncompliance and serves to show how wage theft happens... had you not made the call, you wouldn't have been paid and nobody would have been the wiser. Good job fighting and holding DAL accountable for yourself and your peers.

I don’t get why things are set up this way. Some new guy on SC called scheduling in response to an IA that he could have worked as a SC assignment, but which CS had overlooked in the coverage process. He beat me to reaching CS by a few seconds. CS gave the trip to him as a SC assignment. In the Crew Assist case, they told me the SC pilot called them, and they covered it with him instead of giving it to me as an IA. ALPA said the most senior pilot would be paid, and that I wasn’t eligible for anything. However, if the contract were followed, I would have gotten the trip, plus the 3 PBs associated with it. So why do we pay the most senior guy for the trip?
