Sooo, as an aside...does anyone know the rule on assigning short call? I'm on long call today and tomorrow, and they just called me at 8:30pm base time for a noon short call tomorrow? In almost 6 years of reserve, never had this happen before and thought there was a rule about assigning short calls by 1500 base time. There is plenty of manning tomorrow and the two previously assigned guys for short call tomorrow at 0530 and 1100 haven't been used....any ideas?
All other times on reserve, they can give you SC any time as long as you have 10 hours' rest before your SC start time.

Dude, he pushed, paid off, and bullied one party into passing what 70% + of this country does not want. He OWNS it. If your health care plan sucked before, you could say that, but the fact is it sucks more now, will suck even more as HIS plan is implemented and that is something that his party has to take responsibility for. People are tired of his excuses, and those who make excuses for him.

Thanks PD. Just looked at the contract and that's what I deemed. Just never seen or heard of this being done in almost 6 years of sitting reserve. I also have a hunch that the schedulers don't like me much...but that may just be a disgruntled conspiracy theory!

I get that. However, it appears that we disagree on how to get to he next level. Maybe this will be a good test. Let's say no, tell the company to pack sand and see what happens.
And it is never to early to invest, and you never make to little. (Jim Cramer did it while living in the back of his car) It is a certainty that even the most junior guy on the property can stick a few dollars into a good growth fund. If he can't he really needs to reconsider his priorities. JMHO

For them, the "see what happens" might not be any worse than what they have been through in the past.

Schedulers don't like anyone, except NewK, and it isn't so much like as worship him like the god he is.

Really, gunship? Ok. But, I'm actually willing to wait until the thing is fully implemented to pass judgments on how it affects the country. I haven't heard any excuses and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. But, I bet you will find out that 100% of the people who are in the know--regardless of party affiliation, would admit that something had to be done. That's if they were being honest with you. So, just be patient (and a little less tired) and see what happens. ![Wink](https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

I'll leave it at that on that issue. I just couldn't stop myself from my original response on this topic after seeing your post "Yes. Everything is HIS fault." You got me going with that one because A: It is his signature issue and B: He's gotten 20 years worth of passes from the media in just under 5 years. If people don't see that then they're not paying attention.

We ain't seen anything yet. Just wait until this disaster is fully implemented. If you need proof, look no further than your national politicians who have exempted themselves from it, and the AFL-CIO who is desperately seeking exemptions. 1/3 of the economy, administered by the IRS... great, great plan.
Ok. I'll wait until the disaster is fully implemented.

You are correct in that anyone and everyone in the know, or was even close to knowing, would agree something had to be done about runaway health care costs. But being "patient and see what happens"? We're already seeing it. And we're going to see a lot worse, which is why the majority of the country has always opposed it.

I also disagree with your statement that the majority of the country having always opposed it. I posted a link to a Heritage Foundations plan from 1989 which looks eerily similar to the new healthcare law. Back then, it represented the conservative idea, as opposed to the Liberal plan of a single payer system. (Que the guy who pointed out what Nixon wanted in the 70's.

I didn't mean to get you going, but I am paying attention, too. I learned a few years ago that there is really no reason to get fired up about such things. IMO, whoever occupied 1600 Pennsylvania would have passed the same law, and "the other side" would have been complaining.
