crew sked's....
Crew schedulers---Veronica is my favorite. "hold on baby, hold on baby, wait a minute ,hold on im pulling it up right now, hold on hold on hold on, ok, wait a sec"....and that was only after i only had spoken one sentence "hello this is ____"....But no, I really do like her the most for some reason.
And don't try and get into some huge argument with them or loretta or whoever. Your not going to win whatever battle your trying to fight with them during that particular phone conversation. If your being asked to do something thats way out of the question with regards to FAR's, contract, etc, then ok thats different. Ive heard some people really fly off the handle at them for what amounted to nothing. Maybe you can take it to another level later on and win the war, but just start off and be courteous, polite, etc.
Once I got a call from Penny about something she needed me to do that was quite a bit out of my way at the time, im not going to go into the whole story. She told me "thank you so much for the way your handling this, etc, we've been cursed out over the phone for a lot less". I know everyone says theres no reason to do them any favors because they will never remember or get you back at a later date, and maybe for some of the schedulers thats true. But you never know, you might be presently suprised one day. I was.
Don't believe every single thing some other pilot at this company tells you. Chances are he/she is only saying that because he heard it from this guy, who said he heard someone telling a story about what he thinks might have happened, etc. Leave some room to form your own opinions about certain things, not just letting someone else make them for you. You ever remember that game back in grade school, telephone. Where you whisper something in someones ear and have it passed down the line and when it gets to the end its nothing like it started as. Happens a lot here and everywhere else.
