So the company (scheduling) knew from 21:00 on day 2 that we were going to need another FA on day 4 to operate out of TX. And yes, while it was the company paying for the ticket, someone on the company side dropped the ball and the ticket didn't get purchased. That is when they asked the FA to put the ticket on her credit card. After she replied with a definitate "NO" the company did what they needed to do to purchase the ticket.
Keep defending he company. Poor another glass....

And, also for the record, I've seen just as many cases of pilot incometence as I've seen from schedulers. Can't even begin to count the amount of times I've heard "You only got 7 hours of rest, and reported, knowing you were illegal?" Sometimes circuses have audience participation, my friends.

TurboDog: You have a very valid point. That's why I made it a point to put very low stock in what the higher ups told me (quite often they had a isse of finding a certain body part with both hands). The things I was hearing came straight from the people working the issue... schedulers making the changes, the hotel people making the reservations (at least that was the plan).

I just saw this on the news that the pilot of the Colgan crash had 22 hours of rest however the news said that he was sleeping in the crew room and had logged on the computer at 3am. Sleeping in the crew room is against their Company policy. Too bad Fox news will never see our crew room at night!
