Man, that was UGLY! 6 Turnovers?! :eek:

Not as Ugly as AU/Tide, but wow, two really, really, sucky football games!

I hope in the next game, both teams actually show up!

The union does look into pilot issues with excessive short calls. 99 percent of the time the pilots have miss understood the short call list and the days and times pilots are on call. If you feel they are abusing your category call ALPA. They will check out the dates you give them. Tomorrow is however the busiest travel day of the entire year.

Well, you'd think that the department in charge of producing the document that's posted under "November Short Calls" would know this as well, and would put in appropriate numbers. Instead, Nov 2 - 30 is the same as Nov 1. It's like I'm working for the government and the guy responsible for this product gets paid to do his job in as shoddy a manner as he deems necessary.

Your always getting paid when your on duty. The minimum is 30 minute of flight pay for every hour on duty. More late at night.

When does duty start? At sign in at your base? Or at initial push at your base?

One hour prior to push for your first flight of a duty period for domestic operations.
