MADDOGMAX,

I would warn you against using that method to check your own status since some schedulers do not update that list until late in the day. That also is not an acceptable way to "check your schedule." You could be assigned to SC on your schedule but it might not be on the availability list. Once that list is visible and you are not on it, then you most likely will not have it on your schedule.

I'm not intending to be a management defender, but... that website is extremely biased and probably has some sort of an agenda. I'd check the facts before believing anything on it.

Correct - and if you don't acknowledge your SC via checking your schedule and inputting your DBMS password, they will call you a few hours before SC starts to remind you - but I think it's only 3 hours prior, so if you commute - you could be screwed.

And there is no guarantee that they will call you at all. You could stubble upon the fact that you are supposed to start SC in less than an hour at a city hundreds of miles away. Scheduling is under no obligation to call you if you have a mandatory "schedule check" after they post the SC. This could be after 3 PM or it could be when you return from a trip. Mandatory schedule check by a reserve pilot within 30 mins after return from trip. IF you deviate from DH, check must occur after originally scheduled DH or your deviation, whichever is later. Been burned by that one!

Das Jet or Das Leave
 
Is there a process or discussion about being able to take a personal leave of absence? If so, does anyone know about how long, approval difficulty, etc? I'm just thinking with the Summer flying and other "consolidation" of flying, I'd rather take leave than commute to reserve.
