Because they're not actually assigned HK priority until they check in without a seat assignment. You start seeing them popping up on the airport standby list when people start checking in online. They're still figured into Av/Au(Cap) stats from the time they buy their ticket, though.

I will concede it was a bit stressful at times watching a football game while oncall that was going down to the wire. You never knew when you might get called and miss a great finish!

Is there any use for iCrew Max now that the passwords can't be saved? I don't use the phone app and the only thing I can see that it does is gives a link to the rotation when you view the monthly schedule.

Massive hit to safety? I doubt that. We used to sit reserve with a two hour call out all month. You often had 6 straight days of that. We never considered it duty sitting around with the only obligation to answer the phone if it rang. It might be a safety hit but massive is over playing it a bit. Besides 14/22 is not the new rule.

I guess that's appropriate since you were barely in kindergarten when sailing was hired here - but instead of poking fun you might want to listen and learn. You'll suffer through less self-inflicted head shots (like you did yesterday). Or you can buy into and spread the hyperbole. Either way, Clint said it best:

I know how things used to be, slow. I've been exposed to this industry longer than you have.
Justifying a degradation in safety by saying "well we used to" doesn't work that great when it was much more common to die in an accident then.
Get off my lawn, slow.

Watching your dad pack for work, spending a couple of years at a regional and getting hired at the ripe old age of 25 doesn't provide you with a whole lot of background. Your shallow comments on this site haven't shown that you've really made the varsity (damn, that word again ;-))...btw, how many of those accidents at DAL were attributed to the call window?
There's a lesson in Gran Torino somewhere. I guess you missed it.
