I played ball at first when we were behind on hiring even though anyone with a tiny bit of foresight could have seen what 117's impact would be. But like you say, 3 years later we have 800 more pilots on the list and reserve staffing hasn't changed much. They pick up more and more flying, keep begging us to help out and the result is apathy...

My fatigue and emergency calls have gone to about once per month now. Anyone else higher? It's frustrating when all I ask for is a couple days off for the entire month, and I have to work a local or standup that was put on my schedule for layer 7. It use to no problem getting rid of a short trip. Now you can't.

I've had to call in emergency 4 times this month for a family medical issue that went worse than expected. Talked to my CP told him what was up and he said "family first". He said you will probably get an automated nasty gram, just disregard it.
It seems if you are honest and not chronic, it's a non issue?

I know there are guys calling in more than I am. Some just can't do 95 hours a month with sick kids at home. I'd be curious to see if call ins are going way up.

Family first? Definitely wasn't the FAT chief pilot, that guy doesn't give a rats ass about family emergencies. Buddy of mine called in cause his wife was home sick and his newborn baby home sick as well. FAT chief pilot called him and asked what's up. Buddy explained and said his family needed him. This *******'s response was, "Well the company needs you too."
