I missed the call. Finally got it to work within a few seconds and called back. By the time I got to a scheduler the trip had been assigned to someone else.

Wow, that's a bummer. If you are at or near a computer when they call you can log into iCrew and acknowledge that way without needing to talk to them. Of course if it's a short call GS and they are moving on as soon as they hang up you may not have enough time to get into iCrew. I've had at least 1 GS per month this year and have never actually spoken to a scheduler as I got them.

You obviously don't value your time at home.

Ah! I can imagine frantically swiping at the screen.

Btw, did you change your avatar?

*shrug* You could say that about anybody who goes to work and doesn't live on the largess of others. I'd rather be compensated double @ captain's pay than minimum wage at McDonalds.

Who wouldn't? We've had this conversation on here before. You have to balance your time. Time does have a value. We have a lot of pilots that fail miserably at this. Look at the divorce rate for our pilots. For a pilot to call it a $4000 beer assumes his time at home is worthless to him because he is not making money.

Wow the divorce rate of Delta Pilots is tracked? Where can I find that info?
