ASA PBS Goes LIVE!

blame popoo, SH, KH, CT and the likes.

ALPA had this done last night.

Now, I overheard there is a glitch for opentime swaps related to SKYWEST IT and RED ARROW days, and reserves have some issue.

This delay is so predictable, on the company. They are scared to let it run, and are hitting the button over and over on the system, trying to get the best option for them.

Ok, so no open time transactions at this time.

Am i right in thinking that Skedplus should have been loaded with Feb schedules already??????????

And that instantaneous Open time transactions should be live??????????

I don't think that there's instantaneous open time until the 1st.

That's why you union ass clowns get 6 hours a friggin' day guarantee to keep this junk from happening.....give it back and get back to flying because ya' suck at this stuff.

 

[IFLYASA]

There is no excuse for this. They should have had it prepared yesterday, and work the glitches ASAP.

So, Poposleez sends out an email stating that the awards would be posted by 6:15 local time... and the he goes back and unsends it... As if he never sent it. What a scumbag.

Whaaa????

 

[CaribPilot]

Ok welp...seniority based open time bidding is supposed to start on the 21st, until the end of the month.

Then on the 1st instantaneous stuff if supposed to begin.

This is how i understand it per the MOU.

 

[shamrock]

I wish I could get away with doing my job as half-arsed as these people...

Be safe out there everybody!

Karen Henry now says 1700 on the 22nd. Anybody else anoyed by this bs?

ka

 

[IFLYASA]

So an email was just sent saying 1700 tomorrow afternoon is the new timeline. What a joke. Why do they even set a timeline?

 

[crj567]

Even more pathetic than I ever imagined....

-Paying attention XJET? Welcome to the SH!T...

"Annoyed" was applicable maybe 7 months ago, it's way beyond that now. I would just like to know when there will be an end to this crap and what it will take for the Company to be held accountable and not given a free pass every time they pull this garbage.

I don't mean to poke but what exactly is a practical solution to a 24 hour violation of the schedule posting timeline? I get that it is a violation but what are you saying they should compensate us with? 1 day earlier the following month maybe....!?!

Yes. Please. No more of this BS union waiver crap.

 

[crj567]

Big Picture Time:

A union which is running scared from a company which hates its employees=We are all screwed.

-Why the hell we ever fell for this lame-ass crap, I will never understand. PBS is the worst thing to ever happen here.

 

[blesko]

Yes. Please. No more of this BS union waiver crap.

Don't worry your union is on the case. An emergency meeting has been convened at an all inclusive resort in Belize to assess the situation.

Just kidding but wouldn't surprise me

Karin said the 22nd as outlined by the ALPA email. What ALPA email? Dare I guess it will be out 2 hours after the company email?

Somebody called that in a post above. Are they clairvoyant? Nah, just worked here long enough to know how things work.

This is EXACTLY why I didn't want PBS here. We ALL knew it was going to be a cluster.

There was a PBS update from the mec that said the 22nd.

Here's the e-mail dated 1/14:



Bidding for CRJ-700 and IAD pilots will close on Saturday, January 15 at 1700 EST. Please make sure you have your bids submitted before that time. Just so you are aware, we did evaluate the pairings in both of these crew classes and found the pairings were acceptable. Pairings in IAD actually were rerun while bidding was taking place. The new pairings were higher in credit but less commutable overall. The pairings showing incorrect duty-in times and wrong hotels displayed will be corrected after the awards come out. Had these errors been corrected while bids were being submitted, IAD pilots would have to completely rebid.
CRJ-200 pilots, thank you for your patience. Members of our PBS Pairings Subcommittee have been working with the Company all day today (Friday), running pairings for the better overall solution. Plans are to have the bids open on Saturday, January 15 by 1700 EST. The bids will remain open until at least 1300 EST on Wednesday, January 19. We anticipate the final results will be published around January 22. We’ll pass on additional information when it’s available.
