And when this airline started offering 200% pay on certain trips cause the airline was understaffed, instead of paging for them they called the nice pilots. And the nice pilots started making $$$$. The entire crew support department got in trouble for this. True story...
Just understand that Crew support only follows their procedures. Don’t take it personally. People like to b*tch about their job but they only do their job.

They're not there to support pilot's and FA's requests. They're there to support the company with crews and staffing. In other words, it's crew support for flights and schedules.
