No, but they can try. Now what they could do it put you on SC and then reassign the trip. If you were the only reserve legal for the trip, then, they could follow the RUO. That may have allowed the OB the trip. Since they did not do that, the answer is NO.

What you should do is Acknowledge a trip once you see it, that way they are less likely to take it from you.

Wanted to chime in. I have a ASUS eee pc netbook. Cost $350 over a year ago. Small, light, big internal memory, & a good wireless card. Built in web cam, & came with Windows 7 starter(I'm not a fan, but it gets the job done)

I think a netbook is the best way to go.

Unlike the 88, the 90 will capture without the ALT lite being armed.

I carry a full size (14") laptop - weighs in about 6 lbs with case and AC adapter. Seriously thinking about downscaling to one of the netbooks. Would love to get by with just a tablet (IPad/Android) but don't think those are quite there yet for everything I need/want to get down on the road (e.g. bidding with Easy Bid). Also like to carry a nice mix of movies/music and they fit quite easily on a netbook or a laptop. Macbook Airs are nice BUT like any Apple Product (even refurb) very expensive.

The Asus and Samdsung also have keyboards available as an accessory. The Asus makes it almost into a netbook but it still isn't as capable, and I personally do not have an android device either phone or tablet and not sure how easy it is to get onto Dalnet, iCrew or Travelnet.

Bingo! They like the TLV authority alot.

Scheduling has the right under the contract to correct mistakes. If a scheduler assigns a trip and it is not per the contract they can correct that mistake at no penalty to the company. What they can't do however is what I suspect happened in your case. They are short on pilots. They cover your trip with you as a reserve. Another pilots sees the trip in the daily coverage and calls scheds and says since you are short I will take the trip on a out of bases WS. They move the trip to get you back into their hip pocket on reserve. The fact the scheduler agreed to keep you on the trip tells me this is the case. If it was a mistake he could have simply told you to bad. There was more to the story.

Seemed odd to me one way or another, RES is bad enough as it is, never mind a constant back and forth of being assigned a trip then have it taken away.

Go with the new Air. You can get the small one for just over a grand, you'll never look back, and after a few days with it you'll be glad you spent the money. Trust me.
