1. No, seems correct 2. No, you are under no obligation to be immediately contactable when on LC. They'll leave a message notifying you of your trip or SC if they can't reach you. Many people don't answer the phone on LC, they just send it to VM and check iCrew. By the way, you can access DeltaNet (and thus icrew) via the inflight wifi for free. No special code needed, just navigate to DLnet and login.

(of course, now you'll be hitting refresh on your schedule all the way from NYC to ATL tomorrow, relax...)

Situation
I am currently on LC, tomorrow is an on-call day, as of now and I haven't been given a trip or SC, and on Tuesday I have jury duty on my schedule. When I spoke with scheduling I was told that if I am still on LC at noon the day prior to jury duty showing on my schedule, then I am free to commute home (assuming no SC or trip assigned). If I am assigned SC then I have to stay until the termination of the SC window; however, they can't assign me SC any later than noon Monday since they have to give me 12 hours notice (and practically speaking, not many 717 trips leave after 10pm, so if I'm not assigned SC prior to say 8am it is unlikely I'd be assigned it at all).

Plan
My plan is to take an early flight from NYC to ATL. If assigned a trip or SC while airborne I'll just turn around and fly back to NYC. If I haven't been assigned a trip or SC by noon, I plan to take a later flight from ATL to SAT.

Questions
1. Have I made any incorrect assumptions or broken any rules in my reasoning for how to get home tomorrow?
2. Since I will be on LC and unavailable via phone while commuting from NYC to ATL, do I have an obligation to call scheduling and let them know what I'm doing?

Thank you for your time.

I think C2K and it's aftermath proves that pay rates are variable and are "at risk" compensation. The same conditions that would reduce profit sharing to zero would also put pressure on rates and work rules. Without profit sharing there would be even more pressure on those rates.

FTB, we need a photoshop Leggo my Eggo with the Eggo as profit sharing!

tyvm for the quick reply. And yes, I am going to wear the refresh out. LOTS of flights between ATL and NYC but holy cow are there a lot of jump seaters and nonrevs. Hope I can get home :).

Remember, you can ride the F/A jumpseat as well, so don't be shy, some of them don't bite! :eek: :D

Ok, but how do you tell which do and which don't? :D

Might also be a good time to point out that Profit Sharing is actually at-risk and variable. to claim otherwise is a noteworthy separation from reality.

Laying a little groundwork there Karnak?

I didn't really believe all the talk that DALPA was planning to give back profit sharing.

Until now.
