ASA has 3 Union reps work 6 days to run PBS

[Uncle Bunkle]

Did you know that the "old" ASA has 3 union guys getting paid 6 days EVERY month to run their version of PBS?
That mgmt. runs their own version each month, and if the 2 sides can't agree which solution to use each month, they FLIP A COIN?!?!

And?

Coin flip has never happened. Further, these guys are the SME of our system and I fully trust and support the work they accomplish to provide the best solutions for our pilots vs. the company trying to save money at all costs - without regard for pilot QOL.

What you failed to reference is that LOA 11 provides for the PWG (PBS Working group) to run solutions. Also, no elected rep is currently doing bid runs. These positions are filled by line pilots serving on the scheduling committee.

Yes, I knew that, and I'm happy with the schedules. The one thing we get our money's worth on.

This directly benefits the pilots by having our advocates working on the solution. It's the exact type of thing the union should spend their money on.

Did you know that we landed on the moon?

Actually it was mars.

It's a great thing we have these guys/gals running those solutions. They're also building the pairings from what I understand. Do you trust this outfit's crew planners to construct legal and efficient pairings/solutions every month?

Every airline should be so lucky...

And, 2 of the three always wear cowboy boots!

More often than not the better solution for a seat,aircraft, domicile, combination has been generated by these guys. It is competitive between the company and our guys to come up with the better solution. We are getting our money's worth here.

By your tone is seems you wanted to share some shocking revelation of union waste. If that is the case you are barking up the wrong tree..

completely agree. for all the BS our dues go to... this is one thing that we actually get a directly benefit. I am all for it.

FLIP A COIN?!?!

50-50 odds ???? I'll take it. It's the best chance I've ever had against the company using the contract against me.

 

[dvmthwsvan]

We used to have the same thing at Comair. The company actually paid for the flight pay loss. So it may not be using any of your dues.

Pinnacle has 2 on full time buy, and another 2-3 each month working 6-8 days on PBS, training bids, and pairing creation. Almost all company paid.

 

[v1valarob]

We had that at Colgan. Company paid for it. We didn't get to be as hands on. But we could try our hardest to stop contract violations before they finalized everything.

 

[WWEfan]

Bwahahaha! Uncle Bunkle you tried to start ******************** and got bitch slapped.

Cowboy boot karma
