Scheduling calls on your day off......

[Tarzan]

When it comes time to get paid, you'll only get the 150%. Then you bring them the printout of the ACARS message and they'll go, so sorry, we must have typed it wrong, we really meant 150%.

Don't know about that. It is now official communication. I think it would stick quite nicely in a grievance.

ok.. I am a napper.. and have been for 10 years so I miss out on all the extensions, etc...

Why again arent we at least interviewing for new hires? If we are this lean on pilots, is PBS supposed to be the end all for management's staffing issues?

I would take a picture of that ACARS and take it to BH at your first opportunity.

Yea I printed it off and and now is displayed on my fridge!

They are going to offer the furloughs from Express Jet the RJ in ATL and IAD.

XJT's scheduling has been calling to junior man me at least once a week during my days off for months now. They even called during my wedding. Bottom line, both places need more bodies in seats!

"We would like to inform you of some premium pickup flying if you're interested....."

Premium pick up flying is a trip to the Bahama's empty with 10 Asian hookers and a bag of Columbian Bam Bam.

"...we went out on the Skidoos and drank five million thousand gallons of wiskey..."

Wait, so our company can supersede our contract by official communication? Come on now, you know better than this...

Wachoo talkin' 'bout Willis?
BH is just starting to dust off his bag of trick perfected on us.
Thank god he is your problem now! When you see the local Special Ed short bus pull up in front of HDQTRS, and the V.P. of Scheduling comes out to greet them personally, and welcomes to their first day as Skrew Skedulers you will start getting a taste of what we endured.
Good Luck

The SKYW SS tards are burning up the phone line trying to cover their incompetence ASAP. Wait till BH pulls the rest of his nasty tricks out of his banana hammock! Keep a roll of duct tape close to the phone, when he starts pulling the next nasty trick out, your jaw will bounce off of your shoe tops, the tape will come in handy.
Than god he is yours!

File a grievance that by offering more than the contractual rates they are violating the compensation section of the contract.

Why? I got asked once and it was some B.S. turn midday that I was legal for. I was already at minimum days off, all they could do was ask. I said I'd do it for the hourly and $500 bucks. Scheduling thought I was nuts. I said that those are my pay conditions for doing the flight. Needless to say, they called the CP who said no, they didn't find anyone, and they cancelled the flight. I'm sure the rebook was worth it for the company and all of the PO'd customers flying an airline that can't staff its own aircraft. $500, long term, was absolutely the best option. BTW- The outcome didn't change much, as both Skyway and Midwest are just a part of history now.

In my opinion, once you step outside the contract for work, you also step out for pay. Put the ball in your court. If they can't make you fly the trip, ask for whatever you want. Pull numbers off of road signs if you think it will help.

Just remember, don't help if there are those on furlough. If it's low staffing, go for broke.

asayankee- I thought everyone that was a former Captain had the opportunity to bid back? How many #'s did you miss it by?

He could have bid back, he probably didn't want to go to IAD I'm guessing.

Not in ATL... There are still quite a few former CP's who have not been able to re-upgrade in their original base. I'm not going to commute to sit reserve in IAD. I'll sit reserve in my home town but not 700 miles away. Plus I dont have commute and am not interested in adding one just yet.
