Jump don't answer the ph on days off!

Nobody answers the phone on days off.

What he is referring to is taking considerable time bidding for your days off and having the company take them AT WILL. They will put days off wher THEY want them with no regard to your wishes. They will give you single days off with 6 days bookended on either side.

5 years on reserve is getting pretty old.

Tell them you will do the trip then go eat somewhere on virginia. It's in the contract we can go eat. Is there a time limit?

All I wanna know is did someone find the flight kit yet? lol

I never do. But is it really necessary to bug me 3 times with an automated text or phone call before they figure out I'm not going to auto notify? I get little time away from work, so what time I do get with my family is highly cherished. Why is it necessary for them to put work on the forfront of my mind when I should be able to recharge? Oh wait- it's because they can't staff the airline properly, and they try to get you to auto notify, hoping you won't realize, that they can keep you on call durring your call period, give you a later duty, and start your 16 hr. duty day at your duty in time, rather than the start of your call period............Just another way for them to squeez the turnip.

Set your preferences to auto-email you, and then give them an email address you don't use. (I gave them my wife's email that is set to exclusive--anybody not in her address book goes straight to junk). Those auto-notifications are for their convenience (hoping they won't have to use a real person to call you), but in the end they are required to use a real person to call you.

This has been done, an yet, I STILL get partial voice messages from their auto dialer in my mailbox. I have also been getting calls from varyious strange numbers with different area codes for notification. In addition to these odd numbers that aren't Atlanta area coded, I get calls from "unavailable" numbers.

I set a nonsense number to call a few years ago and since have never gotten an automated thing.

I'll bet the guy who owns that number is pissed!!!

 

[JettBoii]

I told a buddy of mine where it was....he got it. Sorry.

 

[Plainsman]

If they try to call me they get my local fields metar.

 

[JettBoii]

So when there is an IROP, they will have to spend time trying track you down to give a change to your sched. Nobody else will need that time so they can released or to get an alt dhd.

That's right, stick it to the man. You only hose your buddies.

I know you can't see it but I'm playing the worlds smallest violin for you.

An alternate deadhead durring an irop? They don't do that anyway. They are sure to make you stand there as a ready reserve until they are contractually obliged to let you go.

If you are a reserve, no alternate deadheads, anytime. Regardless of circumstance.

As for trying to contact me durring an assignment- to bad. I don't answer my phone on the road. My cell is for my convenience, and my convenience only. Not theirs.

Google Voice... set up a new number and voicemail. Screen everything or divert calls, read your voicemail instead of listen to it and if it's from auto-scheduler, just delete it. Easy enough.

I do this also. Even an unknown number shows on my phone as the google number, that way I know its scheduling. You can also listen while they leave the message. If you like what they're saying you can break in and talk to them.

Really? when does that happen?

"This is XXX from Crew scheduling, there have been some changes to your schedule. Right now its ##:##a/pm, please give us a call as soon as you can"

Like when they're calling to say they have your hotel info.
