It works whenever they try to "short" me fuel. I never get shorted with this simple method. If you don't agree with the fuel load, change it.

I was waiting for someone to say this. But that doesn't change the fact that safety is not their number one priority. It's $$$. Always is always will be. So either they should do two options.
1. Either stop with the tally of captain add and deal with it. Honestly I find this insulting that they tally fuel request. It's like we are the reason we cost the corp the extra expense. No, we are the reason no one DIES!!!!
2. Do a better job and just plan these flights accordingly.

You also only have to check your HI3 once a day. For line holders that's pretty straight forward. For Reserve pilots, although you only have to check it once a day it is also how you can release yourself at the end of a trip without calling CS. Either way, a pilot only needs to check HI3 and/or HI6 ONCE a day. Period. If you have already done so at some point you have no obligation to do it again.
A separate issue is when to answer your phone. Reserve pilots on a RAP or sitting standby have to answer when called. Line holders don't have any obligation to answer their phone. Reserve pilots on a sequence also don't have any obligation to answer their phone. The only time CS can re-assign you is if someone makes positive contact with you. That includes you answering your phone (for whatever resason) or someone meeting you on the jetbridge. As of our latest contract, that also includes ACARS messages...a little known tidbit.
*Just want to clarify one point: If you are on Reserve and finish a sequence...you MUST either call Scheduling to get released or check your HI3. You can't just get up and walk out. But if you are mid-sequence you have no obligation to answer your phone or call CS for any reason. HI3 and HI6 still need to be checked ONCE a day...at any time. This includes when you first wake up at 4am.

I read your first two paragraphs and found two errors of what pilots are required to do.
Guys please do not come on here and get advice on your contractual obligations. Call your union.

Stupid question, but I have a Bose A20 headset. Does it need to be in mono in order to hear in both sides? It's a Lemo plug with a twin plug Bose adapter on it. I know it's a dumb question, I'm just trying to be sure. Thanks.

It has to be mono. Had this issue on a UFlymic setup.
