Latest ASA Scheduling Trick

Back in the day ramp wouldnt park you until you called scheduling.

Back in the day, the ramp just wouldn't park you. Oh....wait.....

Why do they want to talk to you? Reduced rest and sched change for tomorrow I'd guess.

NyQuil won't work for that scenario.

THIS is why ASA changed the company rule from 12 hour bottle to throttle to 8.

Why do they want to talk to you?

why are they calling for if you're already on your way to the hotel, what am I missing?

It wasn't me, but I heard it directly from the Captain. They wanted to reduce rest them to fly much earlier tomorrow, then sit for over three hours.

The only issue in the last 12 years that united the SKYW Airlines pilots was booze, they changed the bottle to throttle from 8 to 12 hours due to many booze related calamities, the troops rioted threatened to burn the village(SGU) to the ground and they relented and changed it back. If ALPA promised an open bar at every overnight if voted, in the pilot group would be 99.9999% ALPA in 24 hours.

This is such a tough one to defeat...

Simply place your phone to your ear, pretend that you are calling scheduling, check into said hotel, go have fun. Really, it's that simple.

And why do we have so many scheduled RR overnights? 8:03, 8:20, etc

How else are they going to fit in all those long sits at outstations?

They do it for extensions for the next day, and it's nothing new.. Also, the hotel is required to give you a room.. They're not your boss. It's a scheduling scare tactic. Don't fall for it.

Scheduling removed me from a Postive Space Deadhead (last leg of a four day) inorder to get me to call them. I just non-reved back instead.

Back in the day, 01 thanksgiving, had a dh home on turkey day to finish the trip, tried to get a dh earlier but they wouldn't do it. Capt. called CP whom he knew well and the CP told him" they are going to extend you when you get back to ATL and you will time out for what they want yall to do if you leave TRI early." Thank god for the ATR, we were the first two out the tail in ATL and never looked back. Was told the Captain was looking for us when we pulled in to tell us to call sch. Had 3 msg to call them by the time I was sitting down for turkey.
