Thanks! Just now starting to get senior enough to get trips awarded with LCA’s, so not used to all of this. Thank you.

Me too. It’s not as great as you’d think. They have been doing partial buys recently and forcing me to commute in to sign in, then releasing me which means I’m in base with no trip and a 10 hour rest clock before I can pick something up. Commute home to then commute back next day or following day to resume trip.

Very rarely have I gotten released day prior.

Can you ask to not be released? Deadhead around until you catch up with your trip. Maybe try to force scheduling into a reroute.

Could be a better alternative to commuting back home.

In early March I had a student placed on my trip on Friday for a Monday start.

The last two LCP trips, I've been released the night before...both times the LCP called me to release me. All other times prior I've had to go to the airport. Once I even parked in employee parking and waited for the call...then drove back home, 1.5 hrs unfortunately.

Seems to be very fleet dependent.

I know scheduling won't release with any IROP. I once had an issue where there was an IROP in MSP, but all of us were local ATL based and in position. LCA took care of it thankfully. Also if there are any students that have to DH in, typically CS delays release until they know the student is in position. Lots of variables. I wish it was a cleaner process, but I'm weary of anything being codified. I think that would be the beginning of the end of the amazing deal.

I don’t think so. How easy is it to put in contract that you get released at 7pm night prior to trip if OE is scheduled? Make it black and white. If for some reason, the OE cancelled, it’s just cost of doing business.

Unless the rules have changed, that's not supposed to happen. Crew Scheduling is supposed to release you, not the LCA.
