Fellas, how far out does scheduling drop a trip from your schedule after losing currency? Got a trip in three days, lost currency three days ago.

Sounds like a them problem, not a you problem.

Absolutely. But my apathy only goes so far.

I think they usually figure it out the day before... because.. well... CS. I think they don't want to do it earlier since you might regain currency by picking up a trip or whatever.

I really get not wanting ARCOS calls at 3AM when there’s no chance you’re getting the GS, but I think the pendulum swung too far the other direction. Frustrating, as a commuter, watching it take so many hours to go through the list 1 at a time that you can no longer get there before it gets to you.

I wish more would deny the trip if they don’t want it, system can then move on quickly. Seems the majority just don’t respond.

If he’s lost currency then he’s not legal to pick up a trip...

This is so true...but as a point of ref....the batch sizes and ARCOS greatly enhanced this compared to the old....CS calls 1 person...no answer...mandatory wait of 10 minutes...move on to the next guy(if they remember to do so immediately)......no takers until 2 hours prior....and CS calls their fair haired homeboy Now is WAAAAY better than before.

Seems now we are griping about batch sizes, which can go either way depending on your perspective.

For anyone who is close to losing currency make sure you follow the FOM requirements to insure you get paid and don’t get a nasty surprise.

if you're getting bought off a trip for IOE, you still gotta show up at the airport and get released, correct?
