Crew scheduling would be an interesting job. You'll get a real good feel for the pilot schedules and work rules. You'll also get to know all the little tricks they use in "recruiting" pilots to fill open trips. Another thing is you'll get to know all the other schedulers so when you get on the other side of the phone they might be less apt to screw up your schedule!

On the other hand, I would hate to be the one calling a pilot at 5am on his day off to "junior man" him for a trip that day!
