"If they reach you and would like you to operate earlier, then it is a request in their part.."
Jed, Squawk Thank You.
How is it though, when I return to my room that first night there is a sheet placed under my door telling me I'm now operating a flight 20 hours earlier (tomorrow). Do I just throw the sheet away and not show up? The last time this happened I didn't acknowledge anything. When I showed up at the desk the next morning for the new flight I was the only other guy there on the 2-man crew.
There are a lot of details in what you both say, about contactability (by phone or otherwise) and responsibility to the company/roster changes when on a duty cycle, however, I cannot find this written anywhere.
There seems to be a gigantic vacuum in the books on this subject - leaving a new guy wondering if he'll screw the company, his buds, or himself by accepting/not accepting these roster changes.
