8.d.3 violations cure time
Looking to pickup up a rotation in a PCS run that has carryout into April. Found out the last day is an 8.d.3 violation (double-deadhead back to base), but there was/is a direct flight that can be used to get back to base earlier than the double-dead would have.
If I slip it and bring this up to CS now... can the company tell me to go pound sand then "fix it" since it is in a month we haven't bid for yet? Or is this auto going to a Jetstream/STS case now and I'll be made to fly it with penalty later on?
Something else?
Thanks for input

make sure your proposed flight follows MCTs. The company rarely messes up 8d3 nowadays.

In my ignorance, would it still be an asterisk rotation if it is a 0### rotation? i.e.- newly created today and not part of the original bid month? Or does it not matter?
No MCTs to worry about on this one.. and yes I agree they don't often screw up the 8.d.3; I'm wondering if this manually built charter rotation slipped thru the cracks.
