Thanks for serving us!

Are there or are there not paid staff members in the contract admin and scheduling shops? Yes. That is what I was referring to. But you knew that.

 

Yeah, I've called in with scheduling questions before and they were always answered by a retired scheduler. Pretty sure he's not there pro bono.

Again, thanks for volunteering CVG767.

 

I called and left a question today. I know its SB weekend and I don't expect an immediate returned call. Just an accurate one when called. Guys that volunteer rock, and those that are on our dime, I applaud them as well. I like the support we get.

 

Agreed. It's well worth the dues money whatever they spend on the pros there. I've always gotten accurate and as prompt as possible responses.


Speaking of- what is the min sit time for us to be required to be given a hotel? I got rerouted into a 4:55 one yesterday (while descending through 11,000 feet back into mecca... talk about a distraction- probably should ASAP that one). I didn't particularly mind it since my parents were passing through trying to get home and it was nice getting to spend time with them.

I appreciate and understand the company trying to get its legs back under it after such a strange sequence of events on tues/wed and try to help out whenever possible... but that reroute was a stretch. Were anything to have hiccuped more than about 15 minutes, I would have run into FDP extension issues (and it did hiccup 10 minutes). Literally every lineholder was being utilized as a reserve the past few days.

 

The -scheduled- sit time limit used to be 5 hours, after that they had to get you a hotel room.

On the Super Bowl thing, like most big games it will probably come down to;

1. Turnovers
2. Penalties

Just ask Sherman or Crabtree about that!

And if you are Alabama;

3. Last second field goal attempts.

 

That's what I thought... Thanks! It's sad when I try to remember one of our work rules and can't remember if I'm accidentally mistaking it for my former regional airline's awful rules.

I'm still undecided on the super bowl and agree with your assessment. At this point, I'm just looking forward to sitting down with my Torpedos leftover from last week and enjoying a good ball game (as well as a bunch of commercials that were released early that I refused to watch because that kills the fun of it)!

 

Absolutely. I've had positive interactions and experiences with the guys in scheduling and CA.

 

Do any of you guys know how you swap vacations with people on your fleet?

 

For all you Apple iPad and iPhone fanbois.
