Hey, you probably already know this, but while on probation, what the company says is your law-- you're not even covered by the union really. Sucks, but you must NOT rock the boat while on probation or you can be terminated easily and quickly with no defense. Sorry to hear this, be careful!

Reserving is a choice.

was it porn or apcf?

but T flip phones cost more than smartphones, I found this out with my inlaws. at&t has 13 smartphones for under a dollar, if you want a flip phone the worst is $19 all the way to $99.

and it's easier to talk trash on here with sandy phone.

One glaring problem here....How is the company supposed to inverse assign a pop up trip once short call pilots have run out?

Acknowledging acceptance of a trip assignment inside of that 10 hour prospective rest period constitutes non-compliance with FAR 117 according to the company. So, basically once crew scheduling has run out of short call pilots and cannot find a suitable reroute pilot they are up paddle creek without a sh!t.
