ASA Sked+

[budlightyear]

I just tried to swap off days and was told by the NO man in scheduling that because they are overstaffed it does not benefit them to help me. I will definetly be remembering this when they are understaffed and need my help. They will be getting a BIG FAT NO! I think scheduling has an extremely poor attitude right now and it is not going to get any better until AS is either removed from her position or someone high up sees how she is abusing her power and repremands her. I used to have the attitude I would be happy to scratch your back as long as you scratch mine later. Their attitude is you scratch my back always and I will just kick you where it counts later.

There is no reason why things couldn't be a little better for reserves. It seems to me that Sked+ could easily be set up to allow a reserve pilot to swap their reserve days around provided there is a minimum level of coverage.

agreed

Eh..that's too much work-I don't have to check my grammar and spelling on here

You don't with those emails either, did you see Jerry's latest update? There were a few in there...

 

[SLUF4]

Nah, but that wasn't me. I don't email Jerry.

I suspect that there is a strategy behind their unyielding and unhelpful response. It probably helps their numbers look better if we are forced to use vacation and user time to just take the day off instead of swapping it for another day during the month. If this is in fact the case I still don't think it is a good strategy on their part because they lose more than they gain in the "good will" department. Then again they may feel that when the time comes where they need to ask the reserve pilots to help them out we will have had more growth to put us in that situation and there will be a whole new group of new hire reserves in place to help them out.

I am not usually the conspiracy type but, is it possible that they will make this so painful that we will be begging them for different bidding software?

PBS anyone?

Oh I am SOOO glad we pushed for free Flica in the contract. Now instead of paying $7.95 per month, we have crap software and this is a step towards PBS. What a victory!

Keep in mind we were only paying half the cost of Flica. The company still had an expense, and they decided that they didn't want to pay for it any more and wrote their own software.

There's nothing to say that if we were still paying for Flica that the company wouldn't have come to the same conclusion, especially since they're just reusing the software they wrote for SkyWest.

SkyWest started sked+. It pretty cool. touch your trip> right click> drop. Or touch opentime trip> right click> pickup. It works pretty good if there is staffing.

ASA's version will not allow us to drop trips into open time. We'll only be able to do post our trips for other pilots to pick up.

AS has been screewing pilots for over 20 years. She makes/saves the company money by giving us the shaft. We have NO recourse against the abuse and have passed on the opportunity to change her department multiple times (union). AS will never be repremanded as long as she stays her course and will keep on abusing her power. She is one person in management that "wants a Union here at Skywest because then she wouldn't have to answer her phone anymore." and if she did, then she could say "call your union rep, greeve it." and hang up.

Everyone in UPPER and flt. ops. management knows how she opperates and have no reason to remove her.

I sat next to Brad Holt on a flight today...you could see and almost feel his Jesus-like aura.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything...just thought I would share.

"works pretty good IF there is staffing."


That's a big IF, since we seem to have a lot of red arrows all the time even now, where we're supposedly overstaffed!!!
