Absolutely agree. FSB is not necessary. I would rather get reassigned to cover something mid-pairing when I am ALREADY at work, getting paid, than to commute or drive in for FSB and wasting several hours of my day to not only NOT get paid, but it actually COST ME MONEY to go to work. Absurd.

Usually someone on FSB actually wants to fly. It seems odd to have a perfectly good FSB sitting there while a non-global flight is delayed 2+ hours waiting for another reserve to show up.
Since an FSB is not replaced once one is used, it’s not like using an FSB on a non-global trip would cause more FSB’s that day. If scheduling wants to use an available FSB on a non-global trip, go ahead and use them. I think most people would rather fly once on FSB rather than just sit there.

Your posts certainly have a theme. You’re a real (management) pilots’ pilot, aren’t you?

FSB needs to go.
I can see the argument that it is necessary for some select few global flights that push duty limits. Maybe there could be an exception for a clearly defined number of FSB for precisely those select global flights. Same number - same time - every day. So it is predictable. But none should be required for any NB global flights.

I think that’s a good idea!!! There needs to be something punitive for the Company to assign FSBs or SCs.

SC is kinda just part of the deal….but there needs to be a limit. For example, only one SC per work block. If you get another, 2 hours of ADD PAY. If you get USED on that SC, the ADD pay still stands.

Just in the past month I have twice been assigned a SC and 5 hours into it a call from CS releasing me and assigning me another SC for the same time, the very next day.
