[mamba20]

Just FYI crew scheduling is now doing bed checks for all crew members on hot reserve.

haha

 

[Hobit]

Could you explain?

 

[328dude]

Believe me, if you have seen some of the schedulers, you wouldnt want them anywhere near your bed.

 

[skeezer]

Hey mamba20, are you not allowed on the local 61 site? I really don't think everyone else on this board gives a rats arse that our schedulers are checking up on us. Besides that, not all PSA guys and gals are on flightinfo. If you want to give a heads up to your brotha's and sista's use the company site.

Peace!

What a pity it would be to have one's rest period interrupted and have to start resting all over again.

That would be a pity.

 

[BeCareful!]

Wrong. It's "Hot Reserve" and it's considered duty time. I assume we're talking about scheduling checking to make sure we are at the airport, in the little room they give us, right?

 

[mamba20]

Yes thats exactly right BeCareful. Apparently they are no showing people who are not there when they come looking for them. Happened so a buddy of mine last night. CS was looking for him at 7 pm after all the flights for the evening had left!!!! Do you really needed someone with a 15 minute response time there incase there is a repo? Whats wrong with letting us go home? Hell, it takes longer then 15 minutes to print out the paper work!

And Skeezer, no I'm sure I'm allowed but as people have pointed out in the past I am a FNG and dont know about the site. Care to enlighten?

 

[328dude]

Ask someone in the crew room on how to get enrolled. I dought anyone will share the details on here.

 

[mamba20]

Sweet, thanks 328dude I had no idea we had our own site

 

[acaTerry]

Correct me if I'm wrong Tony, but if you voluntarily answer the phoneand it is the first attempt bt CS, doensn't that leave the restunaffected?
I guess since it's ready reserve it doesn't matter for this thread though.

Just so long as they aren't doing bed checks on your regular line FA's on overnights - that would have been very inconvenient a couple of nights ago

Well, acaTerry, I wasn't really thinking of phone calls. I was putting my nose into something about which I know nothing, but the term "bed check" implies that someone is sleeping in a bed, and someone else is physically checking the bed for a warm body.

Maybe I'm wrong (apparently I'm wrong) but there is no actual sleeping in the bed going on, and it's not a rest period at all. Whether it's a phone call or an open the door, turn on the light, and lift up the covers kinda thing, I dunno.

I'll go back to just reading...

 

[Swaayze]

What is it, a cell? Does it have an in-room crapper and they bring you food and water? I'd raise a big BS flag on this one folks. I've been doing hot reserve in LGA (another airline) and I'm only in the special room 2/3 of the time at most.

I did a hot bed check once. "And that was the second time I had crabs."

in regards to rest interruptions (not the current issue), the idea isthat you're not voluntarily answering the phone. if you're inyour rest period you should be considered as sleeping. if theycall you when you're sleeping, chances are you're not volunteering toanswer the phone. you probably got woken up by it and areanswering to find out WTF is disturbing your sleep.

the rule was created so you could be afforded a decent nites sleepwithout dispatch calling you (once or many times) up in the middle ofthe night for stupid cr@p. different show time, aircraft changes,etc...

HA HA HA HA HA !!!!

I'd like to see them try to prove that I was not at the airport. If you are spending all 10 hours of your hot reserve in the crew room, you are crazy. They can search all they want for me if they want, but how can they prove that I wasn't in Max and Erma's, or the business center, or down at the quiet gates, or outside smoking, etc? They can't, of course, so why panic over nothing? if your friend got a no-show, it's his own fault.

 

[328dude]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!! Play the game.........

 

[sluminginpit]

Hot reserve is airport ready, not crew room ready. To prove this, just ask for a crew meal.
