Weird, niether chrome or safari will work. It might be the Internet I'm trying to use here in Mexico

23 trips in open time for today on ATL717b. Look out above!

As a reserve pilot on a GS during XX days, am I pay protected for the entire trip if I run out of 117 time? My current trip is only legal if I get a 30 hour layover and the scheduling is pretty tight. If we block in a little late my guess is CS will just bump my next flight to make it work, but if there's a major WX or MX event I will turn into a pumpkin. I know a line holder would be pay protected, but is a reserve pilot on a GS protected as well?

Does anybody know if I'm required to take a GS when called for one? I live out of base and really only want to accept a GS that they will add positive space/DH's to and from.

So when they call can I say I'll take the trip if they add DHs? Or am I required to take the trip because I answered the phone?

I know you can get PS on an IA. But I think because you ask for a GS you are responsible for the travel.

You can answer the phone and tell them you can't get there in time unless.....

And hope they will get you a seat or see if the jump seat is open. They will usually only get you a PS seat TO the trip, not home from the trip. So be careful what you agree to. Other wise you can pull the "Can't get there from here" card, and as a last resort, the "No Child Care" card might work to get you out of it.

If you answer the phone the trip is yours unless you have a specific reason such as child care or you can't get there in time. You can tell them the only way you can get there is if they give you PS and if they are short you will probably get it. It won't however be a DH so you won't get paid for it. You are on your own to get home.

Day of is a proffer. Both white and green slips. You are not obligated. Still, screen the call. DH can be designated in the request.

Green slip on a day off is not always a proffer. Check PWA. Don't answer the phone. Listen to your voicemail. You like the trip they offer- call them back or go into icrew and accept the assignment. If you don't like it- let is pass. But if you answer the call- it is not a proffer in most cases.

But to help out crew scheduling- try to only put in for trips you like to fly. Adjust your parameters. It saves them a ton of time.

Repeated for emphasis. Never, ever, ever answer the phone *




(* unless you're on shortcall, then answer the phone.)
