Roll Thunder. 
But I aint watching till game 7 of the finals.
I cant imagine calling in at the end of the stby period to find out if I am released but I guess now I will log on to vips at the end of my duty period and take a screen shot before I turn off the phone.

If you've ever placed a call to "Contract Enforcement" (Sir "D"), you would not only be disappointed in the "enforcement" enthusiasm Sir "D" exudes. After the call terminates, you begin to wonder how much purple is giving him under the table and what pictures does he have (and of who) that prevents him from getting sacked.

You must have missed the last sentence of that section of the email:
"Please contact Contract Enforcement should any questions arise..."
or maybe you DID read that, but misread it to say....."Please post this directly to APC and get the 12 Angry Men's take on it, then if you still have questions, go directly to the source and contact Contract Enforcement for further clarification"

My concern is for the new hire on probation getting a call from CRS after the 5th hour and telling this pilot that he has to fly the trip...even the Union is now in official agreement?!? Bad precedent.
Don't think this has happened before?
Witnessed an off going pilot, the FO, who mistakenly answered his phone approx 5 mins after his stby period and had CRS tell him he was assigned a trip, clearly outside the arpt stby assignment window. This pilot told him NO and then CRS told him they would call him back. They called back and said the CAPT was no longer avail so they were going to release him. Meanwhile the new hire SO was ready to head out to the jet.
Thanks for your input AFW

Just because he hasn't taken time, or doesn't have time, to shoot the breeze with me over the phone, doesn't mean he isn't interested in doing his job & helping me resolve the situation to my satisfaction.
(nor does it mean he's not a nice person)
& he has always followed-up after the fact.
Sounds like I'm the only FDX-ALPA member who gets that treatment from him.
YMMV I guess.

My experience - DT has always been very quick to take action with CRS on my behalf every time I've called with a question/discrepancy.

In fact, I'd much rather speak with DT then R*$e.

It also applies if you get nailed (improperly IMHO) to do seat support in a simulator.
Ask our grievance folks. It has happened. The new 'just culture' is a code word for 'more IR's'.

I got off the phone with contract enforcement on two separate occasions feeling as if I had just spoken with management or CRS. Basically I got, " yeah, I agree with you but that's not how the company interprets it". Isn't that the whole point of their existence???
