For CS to do that, they have to notify you by 3:16am (9 hours prior). You have to check your schedule after 3:16 for any possible trip. If nothing on your schedule at 3:16 (like you're going to wake up and check...) then you automatically go on LC and the 12 hour callout.
Klondike,

iaflyer is correct that the earliest you could be assigned to report for a trip or begin a short call would be 12:16 pm on the 31st. The other time is incorrect though. Crew Scheduling would have to place the assignment on your schedule 9 hours prior to you going on call, which in this case would be no later than 17:16 on the 30th. (When your on-call day begins at midnight, the cutoff is 15:00.) If you checked your schedule after 5:16 pm on the 30th and nothing was there, you would simply go on long call at 2:16 am on the 31st with a 12 hour callout.

If an airline is going to start hiring pilots with no experience, I guess it makes sense that it's Virgin.

Just one more thing to try to split the pilot group. These guys are neither fish nor fowl. A risky experiment at best.

I'm thinking that if a trip can be dropped due to sufficient reserve coverage, the FO's name should not be assigned against it when it hits open time--my name never shows up when I drop a trip and see it in open time. So what are these non-Q trips I see in OT with an FO still listed? Anyone else notice these, usually about 5% of trips?


In my experience you may be seeing dynamic scheduling in action as the schedulers try test-fitting that rotation on a bunch of pilot's schedules to see how they work. Sometimes you see that on a greenslip callout where they are working down the list; they put it on someone's schedule, call him, wait the 10 minutes to see if he acknowledges, then put it on the next guy's schedule, call him, etc. You can watch the progress in open time as the name changes every 10 minutes until someone takes the trip. Its usually not going to show up on Trip Coverage page until acknowledged, but sometimes that shows a dynamic progress, too.

I have had my handle bent, frame bent and two pockets ripped off my bag and all of it happened on CRJ200 flights to phf. Have no freaking clue why. I have put my bag underneath the 88 and 717 probably 50-70 times and never had any damage.
