Oh they know. Crews have made sure they know, yet the problem persists, and persists, and persists... Get this: I had one fellow crewmember justify these absurd holdtimes by saying 'they have a hard job - you should visit them sometime and see!" Hmm, I worked in a call center in college, - and they would nail us to the wall if hold times went over 5 minutes. How hard the job is is irrelevant! This thread is great, as I've also had other pilots tell me that every regional is this way, which I disagreed with based on what friends at skywest have told of their wait times. Don't know why XJT can't figure this stuff out. Apparently it's rocket science. :mad:

Ugh...don't even get me started on XJT hold times. Sometimes they pick right up. Other times I've waited an hour or more. I remember one day when I was trying to get released to days off, literally watching my flight home board up and push back while I was on hold. Missed my commute because CS wouldn't pick up. :mad:

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.

They're useless unless it comes to sending me junk email. Heck, they can't even get the company to pay us correctly. There's a few of us that are about to say F-it, and hire our own lawyer to deal with the payroll BS- since XJT ALPA is too busy writing up the "Crew Room Watchdog" or peddling insurance...

Read the contract. If there is nothing on your schedule after your last flight after 15 minutes you are automatically released.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 03:57 AM.
