Why can't our executives compete with our own airline in thise alliances at a rate that actually favors us? Why do we always have to fight tooth and nail for bare bones scraps and still end up having to file grievances?

Question: If the CA is going to get a theatre qual, does one of the FOs get released? If so, does the CA release the FO? And is it the FO on the CAs rotation or the senior FO?

If you are being rerouted into a hard non-fly day, you may, if you wish, so inform Crew Scheduling of the conflict, at which point they will be tasked to "make every reasonable effort to resolve" such a conflict. (23 L. 7.) In other words, if they can find another pilot to fly your reroute and get you back to base in time, they are required to do so.

OTOH, being rerouted into a vacation day(s) can be a pretty good deal, depending upon the circumstance. (7 F. 8.)

In my experience they don't really seem to make a reasonable effort even when i've told them its my golden day etc.. I just don't see why the crew trackers don't have that info anyway-seems pretty dumb to me.

If a pilot in this circumstance feels that "every reasonable effort" has not been made, he should certainly document the issue and call the Scheduling Committee forthwith.
