What category and what day? Send it over to ALPA. There is a informal agreement on shortcalls. ALPA needs to know if the company is violating it. Did you look carefully at the start dates and times. Sometimes 10 pilots on shortcall is actually 5 on one day and 5 on the next showing up on the same assignment date.
The scheduling guy said, well, the SC list is just a projection, they can add to it for any reason. This irks me to no end - what's the point of a list if you're not going to follow it?
Like someone else said, I'd prefer to just not know what the SCs are, rather than look at the proposed list, then the actual list and get annoyed there are twice as many on SC as proposed.

Each leg pays into whatever month it departs, local time of departure I believe. Any credit on the trip ends up in the second month.

Very nice!
Take a peek at the SLC 320B numbers. Negative or 0 for the next 9 days. I think every 320 FO except one (me) that was on reserve in SLC has now rolled PB days over Christmas. I'm on an out of base DTW GS trip and should end up with over 55 hours above guarantee this month. I still need one more to get a PB day on the 25th which shouldn't be a problem looking at the numbers. I've seen a couple guys who have around 60 hours GS pay already for the month. January #'s look the same in SLC.
Disclaimer: For those anti-GS guys lurking around, I did this to get Christmas off NOT for the pay.

Yeah I started the month with gunning for Xmas off and because of the 3 gs's I'm now off the 21-28th. Originally I was supposed to be on call the 22-31st so my plan worked out beautifully, plus the 50+ hours of gs pay doesn't hurt either .

This greenslip month and you could trade your way into a 5.0 Mustang.
Wonder if they make a "crew scheduling edition" with special "call, to the sign in desk in 15 minutes performance package."Better yet, sell your Holden to me.

I don't want a 5.0, I've already beaten the snot out of a few ;-). Plus everyones got a mustang, not many have GTO's. I rarely see them on the road and I love that! The new 5.0 is no slouch and really is a nice car but they can't hang with my Goat.
