I accidentally knocked the receiver off the hook.
Then, I went down to the pool.
Honest!

Exactly. I am not into being "militant," but will do what i have to do. Hey, can we get something like bagtags or something, from AFA to let US mgmt know that we support each other? Nothing rude or negative, just something we can have that shows unity. Any suggestions on a tag line? It's going to be a fight, I'm afraid.....but I'm not afraid to engage in it!
Outraged yet?
Ok, I stand corrected! I had no idea it was that bad out west, actually I had no concept it COULD be that bad. AFA East oversees things a bit closer I guess, and that statement was in not way meant to be an insult to AFA west. AFA east has been doing it for a few decades longer, is all. Hopefully West will see what it is like to be treated with respect from scheduling in the near future....(and no, the are not "our secretaries" not a good attitude to have and expect to be treated with respect)

CHAOS on the front

It's different back west. Back east you don't have to pick up the phone. And I nomally never answer my hotel phone but I thought it was my wake up call. You MUST call scheduling when you get off a trip when your on reserve. And when your flying the company will go thru the flight deck to contact you. I've been tagged that way many times.I don't answer my hotel phone, ever. Calling my cell phone won't get me to answer it either. The company does not pay for my cell phone and it cannot be used as a leash while I am working or on my days off. The jetway phone is another phone I never touch. If the company wants me they are just going to have to go through the flightdeck.
It does not matter if it goes east or if they get a whole new scheduling dept. You will never be happy and we will hear the same old thing scheduling sucks.Yes, scheduling out west treats us like sh1t. I for one hope they move the whole d4mn thing to the folks out east. Lets finally start looking at the best practices and do things right!
So you agree that we are overpaid then. So why all the whining on here?Ardee,
I have never said otherwise....and I never will...for once we agree!
I have NEVER whined about my pay...EVER!So you agree that we are overpaid then. So why all the whining on here?![]()
With the contract being twisted due to it NOT being written clearly, how could scheduling walk you through it? Walk you through it to THEIR advantage I'm sure? I would say that on the east the contract is pretty clear. There are some areas with room for different interpretation but very little. It's pretty cut and dry. If you also question them and the tape goes "missing" the whole thing should be dismissed. That is bull$h1t if it isn't. We had a few on the east that were not so nice. There seems to be new ones or they have rotated or something. MOST are very nice until you try and get released from duty. Sometimes you could be 200 to be called and they won't let you go. A natural disaster could occur and they STILL wouldn't exhause all the reserves to get to me and it's still NO. 🙄 It's all control. When you ask why it's "The director says so". Yeah, the man behind the curtain. LOL So it is that the life of a reserve is probably crappy in most areas of the job. I don't think that ANY reserve (me included) will EVER be happy until we hold a block. LOL.
Over here on the west if you question them....you still have to take a trip or it's a 'refusal to fly'. Then they tell you to grieve it. period. What's the point to that? You still have to take the trip.With the contract being twisted due to it NOT being written clearly, how could scheduling walk you through it? Walk you through it to THEIR advantage I'm sure?
