ALL ASA pilots will get a small pay raise soon!

We will be getting rid of FLICA in the coming months and switch to a system that Skywest has sitting on a shelf at there HQ. The system will be free for us and can be set up to have a live 24 open time (some contract stuff im sure needs to be worked out before they turn that on) So because this system is free you will save $95.40 a year which im sure will go to higher taxes:smash: or :uzi: Medical. lol

AWAC management has reportedly visited Skywest to take a look at this software.

Anybody know how it works vs. FLICA?

Will scheduling still be involved in denying or denying requests for no apparent reason, or is it all automatic?

 

[ohplease!]

Flica's free, isn't it? I can deduct it from my taxes, right?!? So that makes it free, doesn't it? Plus look at all the benefits I get for my money.....

Since many of you won't get the joke.....IT'S A JOKE! I'M BEING SARCASTIC!!! Just using the same reasoning some of the alpa "goons" use about alpa dues.

crew planning will load the reserves into the data base and the computer will look at what is required for that day, if enough reserves are in the system than the swap will go thru. Who puts in what a normal days coverage is anyones guess. So im sure we will still get screwed but a live 24 open time sounds cool to me.

yes you can so I guess your right lol

ALPA dues are worthwhile. If nothing other than to have some representation should you slide off the runway or something. It can happen to anyone.

Guys this system at last glance did not have a 10th of the sort options that FLICA has. They may have changed that, but that we the reason that we have not converted earlier. It will have a hard time with sorting throuh all of our weird lines.

Flica already has live real time 24 hour opentime as an option. The flight attendants currently enjoy it. ASA does not make that option available to pilots because the antiquated papar based process named in our contract has no provision for such. The key is that FA open time is first come-first served. Ours is seniority based. Seniority based means it needs a designated open and close time in order to be fair.

If the Skywest Flica system is anything like their ourASA website, they can keep it. Here we go back to paper bidding. Thank god I only have to look at 50 lines.

The ASA website is terrible. It looks like Windows 3.1.

I've looked for the morning reports quite a few times now.. It still takes me 5 minutes to find it each time.
