If one has an answer, I'm all ears....otherwise it's just "Yelling at the clouds", which I've been lead to believe, is something that only old farts do.

Gotcha. But the schedulers job is not to run hiring, nor training, nor revenue management/marketing. Their job is to get pilots' butts in seats for revenue flights. Consequently, they are going to make an effort to man the flight and with the PWA and IA as a schedulers step in trip coverage, I don't really see any way to circumvent the process.....Kinda like the spam calls I get even though I'm on the "No Call List" and have spam blockers. Nuisance ?...absolutely!. Not sure of the/any remedy.

I’ll have to look into that, I’m just nervous about blocking the number since I fly reserve almost every month. Don’t want to mess it up and miss calls when I’m required to answer.

My goal:
Day off- phone doesn’t ring, IAs going out or not.
Day on- phone does ring, because whether I answer it or not, it serves as a nice notification that my schedule has been adjusted and I can get myself/wife/kids ready for whatever that adjustment may be.

when is ALPA going to do something about this BS? We never had inverse calls like this before these stupidly low batch sizes came into play. If ALPA would fix the problem and raise the batches then we wouldn't even be talking about IA's going out all the time or pilots calling scheduling to get IA calls out of order. The whole breakdown in the process is a problem yet to be addressed. We have huge categories now like the 7ER and 320 fleets with 600 pilots or so. There's no way to get through the list with a batch size of 1 or even 5.
