At the risk of sounding like a killjoy, some might prefer not to have their names posted on a public bulletin board. Since we all work for Clownair an employee number might be more discreet option for asking about a particular individual. Just a suggestion, y'all.

Lol, ya... the other day they put us up in a hotel an hour away from ATL, and we waited over an hour for a limo. Called scheduling to change my release time and a particular scheduler (if you want to know who he was, PM me), said they couldnt do that and I am always released 20 mins after block in. Keep in mind, that changing my release time was the difference between normal and min rest, with a long day the next day.
Long story short, our FA calls and talks to another scheduler and has his release time changed. Well, I called back, ready with my 'coming to Jesus' chat prepared for this particular scheduler, but another one answered and changed the release time..... meh... no consistency whatsoever in scheduling, it all depends on who you get. Schedulers have no idea what it is like for us and how hard we work. We are worn out after several full days of flying, especially when on reserve but they still wont budge when you need it most.

Crew Schedulers should be required to do a 4 or 5 day trip once a year for ongoing training.. they should have to Shadow the Crews for that time. I honestly belive they dont have a Clue or just plain dont care how ever if you know they are breaking the FARs bring it up I doubt they want to get fined just my 2cents

The new Comair Rumor, I was recently told by someone in the training department at CVG that we are going to take some flying away from Mesa in MCO and JFK. Anyone know anything about this? Or is it just a rumor?

I hardly ever give them unless you deserve and Ive bent rules so many times to help people and it always seems to come back and bite me in the a@$.
I call lineholders all the time and tell them that they havent called in for there DS window or the LC window and yet i have to here them bi#&h how i called them and they were sleeping. Try and help an get screwed so im almost to a point why bother any more.

Probably wishful thinking from a former MCO guy/gal. Don't put any stock in any rumors until you see it in writing -- and then be very skeptical about it. I'll believe it when I see it. (Not saying it won't happen, just saying don't get your hopes up).
