And according to Ms. Dumbass in scheduling ORD, IAH, CLE, IAD, EWR are also experiencing ATC programs. Ummmmmm no they aren't, sing and a miss.

Don't know what time of the day you are refering to but it looks like there were many programs on the 11th...

Another CRJ IROP day today, due to some delays at IAD. Anybody keeping track of how many within the past week? Also, why are 700/900 crews subjected to IROP rules due to weather at a 200 "hub"?

I guess if all it takes is looking every day to find any delay program at any airport that any airplane we have flies into, we can look forward to these ridiculous announcements for the rest of the summer. The more things change, the more they stay the same!

What does IROP mean, contractually, to the ASA side?

 

[Freebrd]

really means nothing as they (schdg) do what they want anyway (esp since ASA-ALPA does nuthin'), but basically we're their bitches imp:

Mainly restricted Future Open Time swaps and rescheduled line holders may be kept at domicile airport for 5 hours vs normal 2 hours (reassignment window, say after last round-trip cancelled).

You can't do automated open time trades on skedplus? And is that 5 hours past original debrief time?

In IROP the company can create additional restricted days to prevent future open time swaps. While it is automated any trade involving a restricted day may be denied. Normally only 4 days can be designated restricted in a month (plus the major holidays). That's all moot though as transactions are routinely denied for coverage anyway.

The 2 hour (5 in IROP) reassignment window is all within the original trip hour period. If they don't find something in the reassignment window you are released until next assignment or placed on short call reserve for remainder of the original trip's duty period. You can't be held beyond the original trip's duty-out time.

The same who negotiated the rest of the turd. Can you imagine being 60 years old and being held for five hours every week by an $8.99 scheduler?
