Not really,
Uncle Rico's playbook, preamble. He gets scheduling to hate pilots even more than they already do, then he awards them "bag tags" and "RAVES" for the most creative shanking they can create.
Every time I read a post like this, I grimace and am glad that that evil little dwark is a whole continent away.

yes, it's very sad that SH's number won't work anymore... and every time you try to delete the robo-dial number on ourasa, it just repopulates it. You have to put *some* number in there. I gave em the Rejection hotline number- Any of the numbers on this page should work:

Have a listen: http://www.rejectionline.com/listen.html

Yeah, I know no one is on the other line listening. But It makes me smile. Robo call vs Robo Answering service.

I've been using the Rejection Hotline ever since the robo calling began. I highly recommend this technique to anyone on reserve!! I get only so many text messages per month, and I don't want to waste my minutes listening to 20 voice mails that accumulate while I'm flying MTY-DTW. It makes scheduling forego their cigarette break and call me.
 
I created a gmail account and all the endless "auto notification" messages go to an inbox that nobody ever looks at!
 
It won't repopulate if you change the number to an email and then delete later.

The schedulers were using the auto-notify number to call me and I'm not on reserve.. That's BS.

There has to be something in there, it can not be left blank....if you put in a junk email address it will stay as such. If you delete the email it will auto-populate with your phone number on record.

Just create a free account on gmail or hotmail. You never have to look at it or reply to these auto-notifications if you don't want to.

Yeh, I see. If you're not on reserve you don't have to have a number on file.

You, my friend, have been on reserve so long, I don't know how you're still sane.

It's been much too long, haha. As for my sanity, there are definitely days where it's come under question! Serenity now... Serenity now

Scheduling has become VERY adversarial with pilots. Yet management continues to proclaim that it is quite the contrary.

I'm also getting automated notifications well into my rest period. When I called them on it and told them it was violating my rest period, they denied that it does such. On a trip, my cell phone is my alarm, and thus, whenever they activate an automated text notification, it beeps and wakes me up. How does this not violate rest requirements.

I've had them call at 4am, to inform me that I had a RRR reserve at 6am.......THE NEXT DAY!!!! When I chewed the scheduler out for doing it, their statement was "Well, you're on reserve now". That's great, except my wife has to work because regional pay is so crappy. Now she is up too, can't go back to sleep, and will now roll around awake until 8am when she gets up. Though they can, they ought to have enough common sense not to.

When it comes to crew scheduling- NOT ONE INCH am I willing to give those bastards. After years of being pro scheduling and busting hump, not anymore.

FWIW...I have been told by several schedulers, some supervisors, that they have nothing to do with the auto notifications. Supposedly the auto notify system is totally computer generated.
 
It's so refreshing to see an individual humble himself and give the the glory to someone or something other than himself. I have to celebrate the genuine spirit and sentiment of it. To hell with Obama and Allah...
 
Scheduling sucks. Obstruct them any possible way you can. Be polite on the phone, and work your magic subtly. Consider it a game of chess. It will make the incessant torture a little more bearable.

What a load of crap! You need a vacation, clearly.
 
Simply have ur number fowarded to 404-856-1780.. One scheduler calls and another scheduler answers...BTW it really is not their fault, they only have the tools and resources that our leaders at the Taliban HQ provide them ..
