Default Latest PDT/PSA rumor
Heard rumblings in the crew room today that PDT scheduling department (ugh) will soon be handling all of PSA's crew scheduling needs (sorry psa).

Beginnings of a merger? Only time will tell.

The manager of crew scheduling (I think, not sure what she actually did) quit. Instead of hiring a replacement, they are outsourcing her job to Piedmont. Hope the rest of us arent next ....

Our scheduler is leaving the company that's why. I can't see how our schedules could possibly get worse but we'll see I guess. I'm shocked the KH and TK would give up that much control.

Very good point. They are two of the BEST micro-managers I have ever seen.

With the Airport Hotel in DAY being demolished (and the training center along with it), I wonder if that has anything to do with things? Are they planning on moving the DAY operation to CLT maybe? I know, everything is Top Secret "Eyes Only" and we wont know until the last minute.

Easy way of making simple cutbacks i would think. Schedules already suck...could be for the better...

Any thoughts on tomorrow's meeting?? i know for sure the union reps for the pilots, FAs and maint. have a meeting bout something...

Several rumors floating around but the one that stands out is it's a meeting about purchasing Horizons 700's. Think its about 15 or 20 of them. Probably gonna ask for pay freezes in order to get the airplanes. I say forget it.

Reserve guys get ready to sit for at least 4 days of a 6 days stretch, then get an out and back that ends at 2330 on your last day. Pretty effective way of taking 10 days off and turning them into 5 if you commute. And don't forget that 0445 report your first day coming back, wouldn't want you to think about commuting in same day. Happens every time.
