Not what I heard. When 330 pilots ask if they look fat in black pants the plane answers "retard!".

Thanks, i wont be here all week, I'll be in the Caribbean.

Doing a little contract flying for Falcon Air on your days off? I Keed, I keed. Enjoy your vacation, and stay away from this and any aviation related website.

FTB, Thanks for opening this topic--good stuff.

You'll like this one: Last week I wanted a 4 day trip that started on my first day off reserve so I put in a YS for it and lowered my raw score in attempt to get it. Scheduling gave it to someone else, and I wasn't assigned anything. I forgot to take my reduced raw score out of the system and later that same night (still on an X day), at around 2030 I got a call from the scheduler who said something like, "Understand you were looking for a yellow slip, well I have a trip for you." I said well as long as it's commutable (too late to get to an early show at that point). He told me it had a sign in at 0930, and I said, OK sounds good.

I walked away with a lesson learned, one I'm still learning, and a new question:
1. Remove your "reduce raw score" once it no longer serves a purpose you desire.
2. Don't answer the phone; listen to the message instead.
3. Was he asking? Since I answered I don't think he had to, but dude, at that point it's a little late.

3. I believe if it is outside of 12 hours you have to accept, if not he's asking...

Correct. If notification for a YS trip is 12+ hours you must accept it. This is important for commuters, especially on weekends with reduced schedules. If the last flight is at 1500 & they call you @ 1700 for a 0600 report you may be hosed.

It is called a "Proffer" if under 12 hrs.

I have had them call me with over 12, and told them that there was no way unless they bought me a ticket that I would get there. I have offered them to take the first turn off and I would do the rest, and they are willing to work with you, as they want you to keep putting them in as it helps them out.

I was on short call and they called me at midnight for a us trip at 1430. My sc ended at 0530. I'm on sc so I had to answer and it was outside of 12 so it wasn't a proffer. I was still on sc to boot. Military rest rules were way better.

While on SC they were giving you an assignment that was 14+30 hrs away and legal.
Under 12 is a proffer not over.

BD, I think it depends on the equipment. They are for the 73N.

Amen to that. I wish we had the old MAC rules.
