NJI rats leaving the sinking ship

[Some guy]

I am not a scheduler, however I do see what they go through all day everyday. It's not easy with the changes that are happening every minute. And we know here in CMH that the changes aren't always easy for you guys (and gals) on the road. But we do what we can to keep our owners happy. They are the ones paying our paychecks.

Try playing a 3 dimensional chess game...That's the closest analogy I can think of.

I guess I forgot to mention this in the above post...We know there are scheduling inefficiencies. It will get better in time. Trying to fix the inefficiencies while growing at the rate we have, plus flying an average of 750 - 900+ total flights per day, it's difficult enough just to keep our heads above water. We'll get there...

HPN- 3 crewed Excels on hot standby and we watch a sell-off Lear 45 come in to do a trip for us. I'll never understand the puzzle palace.

I am not talking about day-of changes.....the majority of the schedulers work 24 hours out over at easton.

Here is a question for you. Why do some schedulers work in Easton and some in Bridgeway. Seems like these guys would need to close enough to speak to each other without a phone call. Makes no sense to me, but whatever....

RTS has come right out and said it during recurrent class.....He hates the Easton Complex and does not like having everything split up the way it is.


Lets see what gets done about it..

Why do you guys think that schedulers are untouchable?


With all due respect, my biggest gripe with scheduling is their HOSTILE resistance to input, so I just stand on the sidelines now and watch the wheels come off. I have been told for the last time to shutup and fly the trip.

The Easton schedulers work on trips that are "downline" The SOC handles the day of stuff and reacts to changes.

downline = working on stuff through the night for the next day. It's that whole 91k thing.

Untouchables

Why do you guys think that schedulers are untouchable?

Because I have seen time after time thousands of dollars spent on airline tickets to fly a crew to an aircraft that isn't scheduled to come out of MX one day and then fly them back to the aircraft they came from. I have seen scheduling have a crew sit at the FBO for hours on end on overtime so the crew and aircraft can back up a trip that the crew is not legal for. I have seen where scheduling has been advised 3 or 4 times about a crew needing to get home and they schedule them to get home within 5 minutes of 14hrs and then something goes wrong. Netjets is hurting in the pocket book and scheduling is not held accountable for any of their actions those are some of the reasons why they are the untouchables.

Still doesn't make sense.... What happens one day directly effects the next day. These people need to to work together, not in buildings several miles apart.

The posts in this thread make us all look bad.

More than likely anybody with a good idea at BW or Easton has their hands tied by higher authority (Woodbridge)... just like you do on the line....

Stuff rolls downhill and we live in the valley.
