Okay, it's time something is done, because it is ridiculous what crew scheduling is putting us though. Here's a thread to share your story-maybe if enough people hear others stories, something will happen.

For you guys at other regionals, do you have to fight for your pay credits? Do they leave you at the end of a 16 hr duty day with no hotel? and then put you in a motel 6 or econolodge? Do they give you attitude when you ask a question? Do they say they will do something, and not?

Thanks for responses.

Does anyone else think that 2-3 crew schedulers (on duty) for a company of about 1000 employees is understaffed? They probably just have too high a workload.

How many do other airlines have on duy at a time?

don't worry guys. the Colganpilotgroup.com will fix all of these issues!

Its not just Colgan it all over. Its just whos crap can you stand smelling. if you had a contract it would be a little bit better. Although I had a 16 hr duty day and no hotel one time because i was so late getting in that night the hotel gave away my room because I never checked in. Crew schud pull all of my trips the next day so i could rest. Or I was going to use my favoriate word fatiuged and get my trips pull anyway thank goodness for contracts

I just met "I". She's pretty hot! By the cute voice and bad attitude, I was imagining an older (35-45 y.o.) fatty. But she's slender and cute with a great smile! Whod'a thunk?

So did you wink at her or something, and get hooked up the rest of the month dude? Actually, that stuff only works with the one that IS 35-45 y.o. ("G"), but I wouldn't go there....

get real

This is one of the reasons we need ALPA. By the way, scheduling to be partially outsourced with Pinnacle soon.

Ah, the Colgans and What's-His-Name (Phil) begin to pick at the threads of the sweater they knitted together. I remember each specifically saying that Colgan would "remain completely separate from Pinnacle." So scheduling begins to merge... then........

At least someone will answer the phone.

every time someone gets hosed on pay credit or some other scheduling snafu, that person should email chuck colgan. I bet he has no idea what is going on. Let him get 100 letters in about a week, and I bet some schnit gets changed. At least some grief would flow the other direction for once............

Couldn't say it better. Every pilot I've heard talking to them is as nice as can be to CS, even though they are fixing a cs mistake, and basically doing their job for them, but then somehow they turn it around and make you feel like it's your fault and give you attitude.

That me clarify that - some are great- L and J. But G and I are the cause of many pilots being very ticked off.

By the way- I met Ir*ne not too long ago-(don't agree with shy guy) While I was there she answered the phone and said she was amy. WTF?
Will someone clarify which names are fake?
Her supervisor was there too. How can management let this go on?

As I sit in scheduling...

Its Irene, not Amy, she just says it so fast that people get confused. Even the people here in Manassas think its Amy. Sometimes this place is understaffed and sometimes it isnt, all depends on the day and unfortunatly sometimes the day you call may be a busy one.

The reason hotels arent done SOMETIMES is because when the schedules are put in there is no way for us to pull a list of who is going tdy and who isnt, its just luck that you pull a schedule and see that they have you TDY and that something needs to be done, if you dont call, they wont hook you up. When I was scheduler there where certain people who I gave better treatment to, only because they where nice back. Meaning you may accidently get doubletree over best western The reasons you guys listed above is why I left, believe me, I hate calling people and extending them by hours unexpected and all that type of ********************.

Sorry if I ever pissed any of you off, I never meant to.

I think that really crew schedulers are asked to make a dollar out of fifteen cents. then we as them for change.
