2. When there is an available GS with <2 hours to report, does scheduling at least have to call people who haven't had a GS yet before they call those who have?

I ask since I was passed for a 2 day GS in favor of somebody who is senior to me but has already flown one. I am on a PB day (TOFF on schedule), I entered 03 Dec - 03 Dec under "enter all flying days for award", I have no restrictions on the GS request, and I'm on a RES day tomorrow. The GS in question is <2 hours to report, I saw it in open time and thought I'd be getting a call fairly soon but now I see it's been covered. Any ideas?

Heads up (Nugget, Cranium, whatever....) Shuttle America is cancelling flights due to manning. It looks like they are be proactive and cancelling them around 5 days out.

It's pretty telling that this is happening now, just when we were supposed to be getting those ERJ's. They must have been counting on a new fleet at mainline to protect the feed. Well, the pressure's on them now. All these problems are easily solved with a pen and a checkbook.

If you wanted a 2 day GS you needed to put 03-04 DEC.

Sorry.

That template is easy to misinterpret. The only worse one in iCrew was the old "Move X days" template. At least they finally cleaned up that one a little bit.

For your second question:
If you are both legal for the trip then they have to proffer you GS #1 before they move on to someone for a GS #2. Even if he's senior to you.

With your 03-03 request you are limiting yourself to only a one day rotation - see #1.
