Ok thanks. No rules violations so I'll call schedules tomorrow.

It's still sitting in there. Presently 4 hours till sign in. Maybe I don't get the coverage ladder but if they don't have someone they wish to use (no conflict) wouldn't they still cover it with someone that can operate it on time...even if it's with conflict?

I agree with the previous post, maybe more behind the curtain that is yet to reveal itself, but I sure am learning a lot today!!

Loads and loads of open rotations in ATL and LAX 717B today and the last few days too.

I wouldn't wish that job on anyone.
I have seen them cancel flights before doing a with conflict. It is extremely rare. Rare enough that I don't even bother putting the slip in no matter how short we are.

Annnnnnd the winner is.

Yeah it went Noop for no crew. I thought if they had someone that could cover it they would cover it and deal with tomorrow...tomorrow. I misunderstood the coverage ladder as: "We'll cover all flights in this coverage order and only if unable to cover it would cancel."

As I said before, learning a lot today!

Reserve GS question. How is a PR calculated? If I return at 1900, when can I be hit up again (I have a payback day, next day is also a res...when can I get sent to work again)? I ask because what I got is not what I thought I would get.

Thanks

I think that depends on your category/flying. I think they do what they can to cover international flying. A lot of GSWC's went out last summer in NYC, and I could never for the life of me figure out why they always waited until the 11th hour to cover some of those trips.

I believe once scheduling gets within a certain time threshold they are allowed to do whatever they can to cover a trip, or so I've been told.

Under 3 hours they can do what is needed to cover a trip however they have to pay protect whoever should have received the award.
Scheduling never makes a decision to cancel a flight. That is done way above their pay grade. Because a rotation was nooped does not usually mean the flight was canceled. If the flying became know less then 14 hours prior to report it can be returned to crew tracking for coverage. (Reroute)

"No-op" is just for the rotation, not necessarily the flights. They can break up the rotation. Did you happen to check the "flight status" page to see if the first flight on the rotation was cancelled or q-subbed?

Pr is block-in + 30 minutes with 1500 as D00.

For example, on a 1 day trip if you block in at 1400 you get a Pr worth 23:30. If you block in at 1431 you get a full PB day and a Pr worth 00:01.

In your example, you block in at 1900, add 30 minutes for debrief, so your effective Pr is 4:30. That means you can begin long call at 0430 instead of midnight of your next on-call day.
