Does anyone know what's going on with scheds that they are not putting anyone on shortcall? MSP88B has a bunch of pilots on LC but nobody has been given shortcall for a couple of days, all short-notice trips are going to GS's. Which is GREAT, don't get me wrong, but can I count on it continuing? Did they realize SC is in conflict with 117 or something?

Its not until 1000 tomorrow, and I acknowledged online... so no rest issue nor did I even speak to anyone. I was curious if they might get snippity and call since I waited over 2 hours just to test them, but nada.

I wonder if the company is artificially inflating the green slip response time sample size in an effort to compile data for upcoming grievances and/or readdressing 117 rules with the FAA.

Someone on their X day or day off is not on duty, & therefore must not have a required amount of rest before the FDP begins. So if the trip starts on a guys X day, they have no argument. And if it's starts on his reserve day, he can't accept it anyway. So they have no argument.
I'm thinking out loud here, so feel free to chime in.

But that wouldn't be a valid argument, right? Per the new regs a reserve guys rest assignment doesn't start until he acknowledges, & he must have 10 hours rest. That's not a choice.

If you read 23. S. 1. d and 23. S. 6. b I don't see how we are even required to accept anything on our first day after an x-day. I've got a noon SC tomorrow on my first day and the way I read stuff I have to check my schedule no later than 0200 so as to be able to ack the SC no later than 1 hour prior to when it starts. I read this to say we can't be legal for any SC period on our first day back unless we voluntarily accept it.
Just my understanding.

The PWA rules do not comply with current company policy? Who cares? The PWA is a legally binding contract between two parties - company policy is not. Or, maybe, your comment was meant to be TIC or something - sorry if I missed it.
