A little googling provided some great info on the future of our company. This is his great work at US Air.
This corporate culture must change. The Central Scheduling
Committee has spent years
attempting to tear down the walls between the
schedulers and the pilots. We have been trying
to improve the communications and relationships
between the two groups. When we started
this new scheduling system, several committee
members worked in OCC, side by side, with the
schedulers answering questions from the
schedulers as well as the pilots. ALPA and the
Company jointly made the scheduling flow diagrams
you have today, and the same flow chart
was issued to both the pilots and schedulers.
This way, we both were working from the same
information and could hopefully work together
to arrive at a solution. All of this progress
deteriorated over the many months Mr.
Scheeringa ran the department. This is not good
for management or the pilots, and it is a negative
way to conduct business. I hope progress
will resume now that Mr. Scheeringa is no
longer in charge. He was removed as Vice
President, Operations Planning, and reassigned
as Vice President, Customer Service-North.
We think this is a good sign for the scheduling
area, and we wish him well in his new position.
