Is there any way to unsubscribe from the Inverse Assignment robocalls besides making my phone ignore that number? Got two of them last night - one really late and one really early. As a commuter, if I'm available for a last-minute pickup, I have a GS in (in which case I certainly don't want my phone to ignore them). If I'm not available, waking me and my wife up at 4am is hardly the recipe for bliss.

Since You asked...LOL

"Hat Time Utilization"..The proportion of the available time (expressed usually as a percentage) that a piece of equipment or a system is operating. Formula: Operating hours x 100 ÷ available hours.

Flight Time of the HAT..
1. Sits in the back of my truck on drive to airport...30 min
2. Sits on the luggage rack on employee bus..........20 min
3. Head time from employee bus to gate.................10 min
4. Head time from gate to flight deck........................1 min
5. Sits in flight deck until day complete.............. 10-12 HRS
(depending on aircraft/seniority)
6. Sits on head from aircraft to hotel van.................10 min
7. Repeat for days of trip....
Total....1440 min/day..the hat works 21 min per day gives us a "utilization" of .0145 % of actual work. The hat gets paid (insert aircraft pay scale) X's hours flown..equals One Hell of A Negotiated Contract.
The Hat is a useless POS that should have been retired years ago, but I wear the damn thing because the guy who signs the front of my check says I have to.
LOL

The "hat" looks a lot better when you wear your Smilin' Jack headset over it, especially in the terminal. (Ray-Bans optional)

Does Elvis have an iPhone? Duder does and all I do is I have taken their number off my "favorite's" and then at night just turn my phone on "Do Not Disturb" that way no phone calls or text messages come through except for those on the list. This is nice because when you turn off the Do Not Disturb when you wake up, your phone won't ignore the Delta phone number.

If you have an Android, I have no input to help. I suggest getting an iPhone.

Thanks, but I thought Third Person Thursday was yesterday! I'm always the last to know!

Elvis have iPhone. Elvis also have other job that sometime mean late night call outs from numbers often not on favorite lists.

Elvis pretty sure he out of luck.

For those about to ask, no, Elvis not escort. Face too scary. Hair look like Carl's, but nugget too lumpy to shave it off. That why Elvis like hats - cover some of it.

The only solution is to block that number at the times you don't want to be called.

Priority Mode is the Android answer. It's available in Android 5.0 (Lollipop)

I'll start off by saying that I wear my hat. Not because I like it but because it's part of the uniform and if someone called me on it I would know that I was wrong and I really don't like that.

What I would like to point out is that some of the guys that roam the concourses in ATL (affectionately known as the hat Nazi's) get so fixated on the hat that they don't realize that they are out of compliance of the same section of the FOM (CH11) but it's ok because they are wearing their hat. You have to look no farther than this months CQ disc to see an example of this.

PBS will bid to +/-7.5 hrs of the ALV, unless you ask for a MIN or Max schedule.

Trying to picture how wearing long sleeves would improve the above.





Nope, can't do it.
