QX is pretty quick. There are some new people in CS and they are actually nice but they are starting to grow some thick skin and get short with me. I will only wait about 5 minutes and then I hang up and if they want me to go on hold again I have them call me.

I do that with telemarketers, but I don't know why I never thought of that for CS!!

Surprisingly, it's not too bad at Trans States. Longest ever was maybe 10 minutes.

The obliviousness of everything is still there, and there's a lot of dumb stuff that gets schedules, but they usually correct alot there. We have a couple of schedulers there that when you call, and you hear "Hello, this is _______", I hang up right away and call back a couple of minutes later unless I'm in a good mood. Other skiiers know who I'm talking about

Put your call forwarding to the crew scheduling number so when they call it sends it back to them and they get to sit on hold waiting for themselves.
