ASA open time swap question

[OCP]

I was under the impression that it was an instant swap thing, but it seems this is not the case.
I tried to swap a 4 day for 2 2 days and it is just sitting in the queue a day later. What did I miss?

IF there were any chance that they'd approve an open time swap (which they never do because we must have 200 FOs on reserve at all times [exaggeration but it's always denied due to staffing]

They won't process open time swaps until final schedules are published (at 5pm today right at the buzzer as normal)

Sked+ is on lock down from the 14th to the 21st of every month, transactions that touches the last 6 days of the month cannot be processed until the 20th.

How is that a loophole? It is very clearly stated in the LOA and was communicated during the road shows. I voted knowing this information. Why didn't you?

This is the biggest flaw in our current system....we get our schedules so ridiculously late.

As a result...reserves get it even later and open time goes on lockdown for a week.

Awesomeeeeeee

It may not be a loophole... But it does not make any of this ok. I get that open time swaps might mess up final schedule awards....but it should not take this long to get final schedules.

I agree, but this was not a "loophole that nobody saw". It was a well known issue that was necessary. In my mind it was worth it to eliminate integration days and get the final award sooner than under our previous system. Remember we got the preliminary award earlier but the post-integration final award later.

The biggest problem with award timeliness is how late we get schedule information from the mainline partners. I fully agree though that reserves get their schedules ridiculously late. I'm all for making improvements to the situation in the next contract.

Fact: Under our previous line bidding system, Final Schedules for lineholders were not published until the 27th of every month.

Fact: Under PBS and the LOA 11, Final Schedules for lineholders are published on the 20th at 1700.

Fact: Under our previous line bidding system, Reserve Schedules were not published until the 27th or a day or so later.

Fact: Under PBS and the LOA 11, Reserve Schedules are published on the 26th at 1700. This is an improvement of one or more days.

Ok thanks Speedtape...our final schedule timeline sucks just a pubic hairs width less. Awesome!

Now go find out every other regionals final schedule timeline and see how we compare.

O and under our line bidding...when were the first schedules published for line holders and reserves? Not finals
