  • I WAS SKIPPED!
  • Leaving a List versus ROC (Remain on Call)

Hello Everyone,

I want to thank you all for the huge response that we have received with the new "Reserve Updates" page from all bases. If you know someone who is not registered on the E-Line, please let them know how important it is.

I WAS SKIPPED!


Question: I am a reserve and I left a list with scheduling. In the list I also stated I would like to ROC for a two day trip. The next day I noticed that I was skipped for a 3 day that I was legal to fly up two days and split for my NFL day. Why was I skipped? Can I claim it?

Answer: Sorry, No claim is due. When leaving a list do not allow your list to be altered in any way. A list with specific trips or parameters is not the same as ROC. If you would like to be called for a trip in order to split, move an NFL day or work into your OFF/ INV/ NFL day(s), at your option then only leave a "list" do not use the terminology ROC.

Hint: if the scheduler repeats your list not using your exact words please ask the scheduler not to alter the list in any way.

Leaving a List versus ROC (Remain on Call)

Leaving a list - A reserve who leaves a list (i.e., #99999 B,C,A) or parameters for the type of pairing(s) he/she desires ( i .e., most time, two day any three day in by 1400, etc.) shall be considered "sign-in, will call", and will be responsible for contacting Crew Schedule by nineteen thirty (1930), or as soon as possible after completion of his/her flying assignment, to sign-in for his/her pairing. If none of his/her choices can be honored, he/she will resume normal reserve duty upon completion of his/her period of uninterrupted domicile rest. Contract 11-5 line 30.

When a flight attendant leaves a list/parameters the list will expire after 8+30 of uninterrupted domicile rest.

ROC - Remain On Call. This lets scheduling know that you want to protect your OFF/INV/NFL day(s). ROC alerts scheduling NOT to contact you for anything that will not protect your OFF/NFL/INV day(s); ROC will not expire. (Note: unless you are available for more days than you ROC for.)
