Just saw where the Dodgers signed a sponsorship deal with Emirates. Now I hate them even more if that was possible.

If your sitting on reserve with two days left to go and 5 pilots Jr. To you on two days also. Then you are assigned a two day trip. Do you have any recourse to tell crew schedule to give the Jr pilots the trip? Or do you have to take it up the wazzu?

Are the Jr. pilots in the same bucket as you?
Do the Jr. pilots have adequate 30/168 look-back to fly the 2 day trip?
Will the trip give the jr pilot 60 flight duty period hours in the previous 168 hours?
As for recourse, yes you do. Something similar to this happened to me and I called CS and pointed out their error. They had to redo 100% of their assignments and SCs for that day and the senior pilot who was in a lower bucket than me got the trip as they deserved. I called ALPA after the fact and they told me I'd have been eligible for assignment pay if I'd flown the trip.

The times I have called schedules, there is always a reason and they didn't make a mistake. It's all done by the computer. It spits out a name based on the parameters of the FARs and contract.
Good luck and have fun on your 2 day!

PSA: Be advised that the required schedule check after a rotation may not keep you safe from still getting assigned something later in the day. I had three day block of reserve. YSd a two-day, checked my schedule after block in (nothing on it) and flew home. Pulled into the driveway and got an early am SC on my last day. Fortunately there was a late flight with seats on it and made it back for my SC (after spending two hrs at home). Wasn't used of course, but didn't want to gamble. Anyway be ready for anything if you are reserve.

Question on PB days: I have 5 days in the bank I'd like to apply to first five days next month. Scheduling is telling me I can't have them those days, there's not enough reserve coverage. Is this correct? Problem is further compounded by the fact that my category is below quota for reserves for the entire month, before it has even started. When getting PB days within the bid period, reserve coverage doesn't matter, why should it in this case?
