Is the crew auto-notification system mandatory now? I recently got a robo call and never signed up for it. I just logged on to change my preferences to opt out and can't find a way.

Thanks.

You can get robocalled for Inverse Assignments if they run out of reserves. That was happening even before the new system.

What was the call about?

"Excess" baggage doesn't fly free. Just wait 'til they define "excess."

Hey, what is the name of that super skinny beard that you grow just along your jawline, connecting your sideburns to your goatee? Kind of an LA gang look, you know?

I saw one on one of the regional pilots flying Delta pax around today and was a little surprised. Maybe on a ramper it would work, but I figured even the regional guys must have some kind of appearance standards. Maybe not?

Not an inverse assignment. Regular short call trip.

I got a robo call at 7am the other day. Went on SC at 930 and it was like a 1500 show or something.

I don't mind it. I get irritated with a 50 minute callout to show and thus 1:50 to GO. not show. GO. So I kind of like getting the heads up from a robo call that it's coming.

international flight attendants have proven that you can have 5 bags on one roller bag and be fine.

So SWA should say excess is when you have 6 bags that you cannot carry up and down the stairs.

I haven't had one in at least a year or two. This was for a short call trip with less than 3 hours notice. I didn't sign up for the crew auto-notification. I was just wondering if there was a way to opt out. I thought we had to opt in. That is irritating when there's not enough notice. Does one have to acknowledge the robo call? I waited 10 minutes before acknowledging my trip with no follow up call.
