ASA July bidding

[SiuDude]

Hello friends. It's that time of the month when SiuDude's house-o'-gamblin' begins taking wagers on how late each step of the ASA bidding process will be this month. You will find the house money line in parenthesis below:


How late bidding will open (41 minutes).
How late the lines will come out (3 hours 18 minutes).
How many excuse emails we will receive from management (3).
What ALPA will do about it (0).

As much as they want to give out...until enough of our knuckleheads get the message and take some action, nothing is going to change because OUR "union" isn't going to do ********************.

The Sheep will do nothing. Ah the weak new generation, I miss the old days.

You've had your July final schedule since June 9th or before? If so, is that normal for you guys? Our bids open on the 10th.... and we(ASA) dont get finals till 20th

 

[Freebrd]

Bid packs came out online on June 3, CA schedules awarded on 6/8 and FO on 6/9. Yes that is normal.

well, that is a perfect example of something we can use in the new contract.

Gone again at 1915.

 

[Poppa Hodax]

Gone again at 1915.

....and now July is back. Are the Flica servers coal fired?

What difference does it make if they don't follow the contract?

 

[goahead]

90hrs as the min threshold, day-um......

High threshold + low credit pairings=Giant poop nozzle.

-Can't say we were not thoroughly warned.

No weekend days off for reserves, not even a single Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Doesn't bother my plans, but sucks to be a guy with a family. Super regional pilots don't need to spend time with their kids..

 

[Freebrd]

welcome to the SUCK, management blew this PBS thing, now ASA pilots will join XJT pilots in voting it out! could've been a good deal IF management hadn't screwed up the pairings, so sad, bye bye pbs

It's the new way to run an airline.

So, you think a looming pilot shortage is going to make this better or worse?

Agreed, mngmt has screwed the pooch trying to sell this to XJT. However, you guys think it's bad now? Wait until you see what the lines will like after the merger if we do go back to line bidding. The same stuff will happen and there will be fewer options to make it better. This is the new regional model, the days of guaranteed profits are over. I'm not saying I like it or that I agree with it. I am saying you're nuts if you think going back to line bidding will fix this.
