ASA open time swap question

[spudskier]

And I'm willing to bet that at this very moment the awards are complete and probably have been for a couple of days but they are waiting until exactly 1700 today to post them.

^^^ THIS! I'm under the impression that FAs can put CAs and FOs on their "fly with" or "fly without" list... for that to happen, FO and CA schedules must be done. They get their schedules on the 19th.

You know darn well they're holding the schedules back until exactly 5pm which is REALLY irritating. There must be a way (maybe a more powerful computer maybe) that they can run the PBS bids in less than FIVE WHOLE DAYS!

I understand DAL is the big problem with schedules as their flying changes weekly if not monthly. Maybe it's a cost savings versus United that NEVER changes, they just change who does the flying.

Bottom line, we've gotta kick out lines earlier. it's doable, we just need people that will do it. (both company and union)

FACT: I'm not disputing PBS, I like it. I don't like how much everyone drags their feet on the publishing of schedules.

AAAAANNNNDDDD I just noticed (around 2pm) that I can mouse-over any day in March and I can see how many hours in 7 days I've worked. Schedule's been loaded, it's done, they are just refusing to post it until the last second.

Yeah for the CAs this has been out since the 18th.
Delta actually gets there schedules about the same time (late) we do.

I just checked that on SkedPlus and damned if you ain't right.

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.

Under line bidding it was not the 27th. 2007 contract, Section 13.E.2 "All lines will be awarded with pilot bids in seniority order. The RESULTS of the award, in seniority order within position, will be available at each domicile by 1700 local domicile time on the fifteenth (15th) of each month.

It has never been the 27th, even with subsequent LOAs. However, complaining about the 20th, while it does suck, was agreed to when the pilots voted PBS in.

You are referring to the preliminary award though. The award wasn't final until completion of integration.

You are correct, regardless, you new your monthly schedule with the exception of the first three days, and that is only if you had integration days.

We use to get our first schedules on the 15th...now we get them on the 20th. And we cannot open time swap until reserves get their schedules on the 27th!

Brilliant!
