Dec Pilot Bid opening delayed 3 hours

[14RF SUX]

Wow, this will be even more fun when we add the XJT guys to our cluster f*&%

 

[COOPERVANE]

Why are we screwing around with new "pairing" software? Did the old software not work correctly? I feel like there is something shady going on.

ATL and IAD lines seperate again.

Oh, and enjoy being extended via ACARS... no follow up call is necessary. How did we let this shiite happen. I don't believe Skywest is allowed to reschedule via ACARS. Why are we?

 

[mxaviator]

Wasn't December suppose to have flying levels comparable to July? Is it me or are there fewer lines in December than we had in July or is the plan just to keep 25% of us on reserve?

Awesome, another month of 300 line holders and 100 reserves for the 200.

Here's an idea. If you're going to delay the bid, delay it long enough to clean up the whole mess.

1/4 of the pilots on reserve in ATL, with zero, zilch, no reserves in IAD. I can only imagine what the ATL-IAD flights look like with all of the TDY pilots heading up there on a daily basis.

Had 15 of us on a DC9 a couple of weeks ago in the middle of the day

I am so SICK OF THIS!!

1)Extensions/sched changes via ACARS
2)Autodialer HARASSMENT!!!!!!!! Every 25 minutes on my day off until I self notify or turn off the farking phone.

What happened to two way verbal communication?

I can't believe lineholders aren't shutting this place down at the prospect of extension via ACARS

Take note XJET!

This is the kind of crap we will ALL have to put up with if we don't get some better reps in power. These guys all need to be chunked out of office ASAP!

-It would be kind of good to see a few of them actually have to lie in the bed they have made. It is much easier to always capitulate when these things don't affect you directly, but they damn sure is affecting those of us who actually work.

Can't you just say you're unavailable? We can at xjt! Maybe we can all just go noodling for catfish y'all, when we merge with this pathetic mess of a company. I thought our qol was getting bad it looks as if it downright sucks at asa. maybe we should just run them as separate airlines rather than on a big crappy asa contract.

 

[Long Time Gone]

Most airlines have a notify via ACARS system. I don't see the issue with it. You're going to do the trip regardless.

Not really.

Our scheduling dept is notorious for giving us illegal assignments. After getting a phone call from scheduling, EVERYONE I know (on reserve) looks online to see what scheduling is up to. To make sure it is legal, to get all your ducks in a row, and to flip through your dog-eared contract to have scheduling section handy for the argument which is about to ensue.

If you hit "ACK" it's YOURS, no recourse!!!

Several years ago, we successfully argued that notification while calling in range was an unecessary distraction, and would not be tolerated.

 

[OCP]

Don't hit "ACK".

 

[goahead]

Do we have anyone in our union or just a monkey that takes the company emails and changes words around then sends them out as if they were from ALPA first??? that might work but they are about 2-3 hrs later and say the same thing as the company, "we were notified at five o'clock today about a problem" but waited until 9:00 to send this email out, thanks for your dues etc......

Yes changes are fine but extensions and junior mans are different, not too long ago they sent out a memo about just hit ACK and call once on the ground as the ack doesn't mean anything but now all the sudden it does. Must of been ALPA needing a four day dropped for a union member to play golf and they couldn't so they agreed to this so they could get the days off.

There will be a joint contract, negotiated by members of both companies. I am surprised you don't know this.
