Scheduling imploding??? Hard to believe.
Funny little story. On June 30th, the date of my furlough, I got off a 3-day sometime in the afternoon, called scheduling and got released for the day/month/year/forever? I went to the flight manager's office to turn in all my crap, walked out of the airport with no company id and no brass, my flight case weighing about 30 pounds less than usual. I catch the employee shuttle back to the employee lot, walk to my crashpad, get in my car and start driving home from STL to Kansas City. 3 hours later scheduling calls and asks if I'm anywhere near the C-gates because they need me to fly something. I was like, "first of all you released me for the day, second of all I'm already on my 15th hour for the day, plus I turned in all my books and ID to the flight managers a few hours ago and am in my car about 30 minutes from KC." Scheduler seemed a bit confused, said nevermind and called the next guy on the list.:banghead:
