And to add one other reason why it's hit or miss......they are paying you for the trip anyway, therefore if the FO no shows or calls in short notice sick.....they have you at the airport (as a ready reserve for that trip) at sign in. IOW, the schedulers have everything to lose and nothing to gain by letting you off the hook early.

I agree, it sucks.....might throw that into the next PWA as a very low cost item?.....sounds reasonable to me!

Correct, but I gave them 17 days of availability to get currency which also included a rotation during which I got one landing. I was over WS limits and unsuccessful at GS.

If you’re referring to Recency Status and Alerts, yes, complied with.

Yeah, duh to me. I was thinking that he was going to go non-current before his next trip but it hadn't happened yet. You're correct.

I had 2 trips in June bought off for OE

I did not commute in for either for on my schedule it said "Removed from rotation for OE" once that appeared I could no longer see the rotation details in MiCrew. I never commuted in, in fact I GS'd over one of them. No issues.

I think for Int'l trips you've been bought off for TOE you need to show up regardless. So I've been told on my side (7ER).

We’re not law enforcement, or FBI profilers. Isn’t there some kind of law enforcement security checkpoint passengers go through, presenting government issued id before boarding?
