In my very limited window into what scheduling does to pilots, I see and hear about this all the time. It's a deliberate way they can increase productivity without increasing cost. Dirty trick but 100% legal.

Nonrev international question. When checking in out of country do you get your usual standby slip. Or do they give you a seat at ticket counter before you go through security.

It depends. In SNN or DUB, you have to have the seat assignment to pass through US customs. Definitely check-in at the ticket counter, even if you are not checking a bag.

I'm going to write my reps, but I doubt anything will come from it. Thanks for the answers.

I stand corrected. Just another jewel in our transition scheduling rules. What do we have to give up to fix it?

The airport is pretty small, so even if they hold you at the ticket counter until check-in is closed (60 mins prior to departure for most int'l cities) you'll have plenty of time to get to the boarding area. No jetways, so once they board, you just walk out to the airplane from a central boarding lounge.
