do they ever? few months ago I got a call on reserve, just missed picking it up before it went to a message. I called right back and was on hold for over 20 minutes. While I was on hold I emailed JC and the DO and the CP from the crashpad telling them I'm on hold and couldn't get ahold of them within the required 20 minutes.

At about minute 23 when they picked up the phone in sked (after hearing that holding music way too long) it turned out they were trying to sked me for something that was illegal as it was day 6 of 6 on reserve and it was 3pm and I was off reserve at 5pm and they wanted to sked me to end duty at around 10pm and then DH back to base the next day on day 7.

BB must have stock in Verizon and rest so he tries to get everyone to burn their minutes on hold with the company.

next time you are in HQ, notice the silence that envelops you..........all ringers are in the off position, no joke.

I've actually never been there. Only to the MX hangar in Indy for 30 minutes to bounce down the slide.

Now that you've mentioned it, I can't recall any phone ringing there while I was in indoc.

About scheduling... I ended up collecting all the caller IDs fromt that department. I have like 6-7 and I am sure there are a few more. Then I call back the number that called me in case I miss a call. This way I never end up holding and I get to the person who was dealing with me. I never dial the 800. Down side is the minute usage.

just looked at the list... none in Jan, 2 in Feb, none in March and April, and last one was in May for a total of 44 FOs still on the list.

Anyways if I look at the base lists to me is does not seem that we are understuffed on the FO side in any base. (At least on the 145. I don't watch the 170.) On the other hand I have seen a bunch of flights flown by 2 CAs. I am still waiting to see one flown by two FOs
