Yep - it's happened to me quite a bit. In fact, my last day before going on vacation this month. I was assigned a 0800 sc with the stipulation that I'd be released at noon (due to my vacation). Then I called and was released 2 hours early at my request (1000). A 2 hour SC. Brilliant!

Here I am doing my best dance moves:

Whatever happens at AMR or AMR/LCC directly effects this pilot group and our airlines revenue and route networks. There very well may be reactions by our management because of theses events. It's important for our pilots to pay attention.

UCAL and their network effect us, we have just not seen it to its fullest effect yet. Their co tract will effect us. This industry is just too small for it not to.

That ruined my image of you jughead. That looks more like a NYC FA celebrating the start of a 3-day with his most fav Crew together.

Vikings moving to LA. Delta will close MSP and open DFW. Don't need a hub without an NFL team. Just like MEM

Are you saying DFW has an NFL team?

Right up until the time Tom Landry retired. After that, not so much.

They do it and in my case will start you at some ungodly hour in the morning so they can get "full use" out of you if they need you. I think my last one was 0230!
