yea. Total bs. But 20 years in the game, and you answered the phone early? Or did they try and use the voicemail to say they gave you the assignment?

I didn’t answer…. They left a voicemail.. But the fact they called the day before and not until after noon on the next B reserve day was BS…. It was from an unknown number to boot.. But ya, don’t ever answer when not required…. The result when they did call was the had to revise the pairing to get me on deck earlier and got rid of the hub turn. Tried the same thing about 2 years ago I had to get supervisor involved….

Just curious, how would the B reserve assignment been illegal if they had waited until noon on the day of the trip to assign it? Doesn't the call out period for B reserve start at noon?

I do not have a contract reference for this but I had a trip in the last year that was revised multiple times and each time I had to re-deviate the back end.
Read his original post APCers

It appears it is because he had the same deadhead from ATL-MEM on same airline, date and time even on his revised pairing. The only thing that changed was the first leg and poster said it allowed him to redeviate from that leg bc it was new. It sucks but the last leg was not revised and he/she had already deviated that original leg that was still the same.

Posters narrative below

“For example, BEDH out of IND. Original pairing has airline on DL IND-ATL-MEM. New revision. Trip now ends in BWI. New BEDH now BWI-ATL-MEM. Already deviated original trip prior to revision. New trip still shows deviation on second leg, ATL-MEM. Same exact flight from ATL-MEM.”

Keep reading. The OP said they did the same thing when the trip was revised 24 hours later. You might be able to make a case for the same day (but past precedent says it should have been a new deviation opportunity), but once the trip was revised to the next day, the OP should have been able to deviate on both legs again.

My apologies I missed the second part. Something seems amiss on the second revision and the inability to have that original DHD reinstated. I would be interested to read the INSITE and DART response details.

In both cases, the trip had an extremely late show time (1830ish) to a hub city, followed by a hub turn and getting KXYZ around sunrise. Both exceeded 16 hour duty day if called out at noon. But they make a sneaky “courtesy” call the day prior and you’re legally rested to showtime.

Ok, still not following. Why would they have to call you at noon for a trip that showed at 1830(ish) local? They could also just assign you the trip in VIPS and release you until show. Both provide you with legal rest. So why would the trip be illegal for a B period reserve?

I will also add that there are good examples in which you would want Crew Scheduling to call you outside of the “required notification period”. It may be to one’s advantage if they are commuting to the first day of reserve to take the notification of a front end deadhead assignment on day one and be able to deviate direct to the assignment. The contract just states when you are required to pick up the phone call.

For some reason these unsolicited voicemails always sound garbled. A voicemail is not a legal notification in this instance.

Reserve availability isn’t rest. And what if you don’t check VIPS? I never did when I was on reserve.
