They accidentally called with less than contractual hours, and if I understand correctly they realized it and didn't leave a message at that point. I don't see anything firm that they would have done that would be a violation.
They called and didn’t leave a message. I called back and got flak from the scheduler until I was transferred to a supervisor. The supervisor said yep you weren’t contacted with enough time the trip is off my schedule. So no harm no foul. I then thought about what would have happened if I didn’t see the missed call and there wasn’t a message. Did that count as contact even though it was within the 12 hours? The schedule reference handbook and PWA don’t state what counts as contact that I can find. This is why I ask the question.
They have done that. They were fishing for IAs a while back when I got a call that I ignored and it wasn't a standard scheduling number. Minutes later my wife (my back up number) gets a call from the same non-delta scheduling number. She answered and it was a scheduler looking for me. She knows how to handle that situation and informed them I wasn't available. So it has been done in the past and I think they cleaned that up in the PWA awhile ago but... when you absolutely positively have to get it there overnight, the PWA is merely a suggestion. Violations happen... oops.

What is a “standard scheduling number?”

Don't know the answer but will hazard a guess anyway. No, not contact. Even though they may have called, you didn't answer so NO contact on that front. Additionally, they can't verify if your ringer is on or off....therefor they will argue nobody heard it therefore NO contact.
Not sure what answer you are looking for and I'm not gonna go back to research the thread. If not what you're looking for , sorry.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it ,did it make a sound? Yea, kinda like that !
