Oh. If you play nice with scheduling you can DEFINITELY do this. Also can arrange hotels, occasionally a positive space etc etc. just depends on your history with them. They DO keep notes in their scheduling file about who plays favorites or not and who works with them or not. Lol

You can also be put on the call list, can specify your commuting base to narrow down calls (and possibly get paid to commute) or you can be put on the “do not call” list.

How do you do that?

It’s an option in flica. I don’t remember where.

Former scheduler here.
We make notes on everything on crewtrac , scheduling does not use flica. comments can go on your profile and individual days. I absolutely knew who to call when I needed something.

Scheduling will help you if you help them , but also know you're just helping the bottom line. That's why open time is not immediately red pay like it use to be.
But if you know them, they'll hook you up with red pay.

Thanks everyone for the great information.

By telling crew scheduling your commuting city and if something opens up on a day you’re commuting they might be able to give you a call.
