Does ASA's Sked+ allow you to do post your trip to TRADE with something else that you may want. I remember when I was at ASA on Flica, you could say that you wanted to trade you 4 day for a 3 day on certain days. Then someone would propose a trade and you both could approve or deny it. At SkyWest, the only real way we can trade is by emailing everyone or by putting comments when we post a trip. That doesn't stop someone from just picking up your trip without giving you anything.
Yeah, it's pretty slick. Whereas on Flica you would have Future Open Time and the Tradeboard with separate listings, on Sked+ they all show up together.
You mean that "evil" Skywest management actually did something that improves our lives even though they didn't have to? D@mn them......
It must be some evil plot....
Hopefully their bidding software is as good as this Sked+ is.
Yep, our CONTRACT REQUIRES transparency.
They didn't do it because they wanted the pilots to have better tools. They did it to save $25k a month.
Now, the side effect is they happened to write a better piece of software than Flica. That's great, and shows that some things can be a win-win.
Hopefully their bidding software is as good as this Sked+ is.
You are right. The company doesn't care at all about the pilots. Everything they do is self-serving. It isn't in the best interest of the company at all to do things to keep the pilot group happy. In fact, I can't believe they would give us Sked+ since it is better than Flica. $25k a month is a small price to pay to keep the pilots down!
Come on. There are no conspiracies, and not everything is a pure $ calculation. It wasn't just by accident that the software is better than Flica.
The crew-bid software has less flexibility in the near-term, but over time there will be improvements. Most of the functions are still there, it will just require a little different way of doing them. (No weekends only button, but you can still select the specific weekend days, etc.)
