You are sooo cute. Just adorable.

I'm asking a serious question as newbie. No need to condescend.

Called in sick for a trip this month - first time in years I've actually been sick and it happens while I'm on probation, go figure.

Anyhow, Scheduling put it as a personal drop, and to bastardize Monty Python, every drop is precious when you're on rookie pay. What's the procedure to get this fixed? Call Scheduling, go through the CPO, or is there a correction form somewhere in iCrew I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

I did almost as well when I was 80% in category. (and a certain someone on this forum, who is almost the bottom in category, also does very well.)

There is no way I want to fly 80hrs and then pick up overtime at a measly 1.5.

I say really learn the system we have and maximize for effect!

I'll bite. How do you do that when you have to hit gs trigger?

Exactly.

Even if you don't drop to zero, you could drop several trips, and attempt pick up better trips. Several guys here do that.

It's a huge QOL benefit.

Call scheduling first. Be very polite. If they don't fix it, call ALPA. Look at your time card and make sure it was a personal drop first. I have never seen them do that or heard of them doing that.

New scheduler did it to me this past summer. It was a WS slip that I got about two or three days earlier, she was under the impression that she just had to remove the rotation.

Just wondering...how much accrued sick is there for probationary pilots?

Sorry to just jump in guys, my buddy from Oslo needs scuba diving advice in Italy. He said north of Rome so I guess he's on the Westside. Much obliged for any recommendations. Cheer h...
