I think it's a good thing that you are recently optimistic but not sure why. Can you get more specific?
I haven't been happy with more than a couple of specific issues that are within the realm of flight management. Seems like a lot of power to me. Not sure how this can get much worse under someone who isn't a good guy or doesn't know how the game is played but I guess it's possible.
4A2b
- carryover and line spreads across fleets
- keeping flying "off the books" until after the bid pack comes out
Lateness of getting out of 4A2b (BM was negotiating that one)
Accepted fares policy/administration change
- This is a good one. They denied a change occurred for some time even though it was firmly in place
- Remember OR saying he would look into it? Still waiting for a response...
Secondary line building (building too many so they can serve as more flexible reserve lines)
DP resolution results
Harassment of mil pilots and Sick pilots
Scheduling's new found freedom to split crewmembers off of a pairing based on who's deviating. Ever have the pleasure to witness scheduling failing to make a pairing legal just because you deviated? Even when they went to the trouble for your FO and you mention that to them? Why do we have to bring in contract enforcement to make them stop cheating? Why can't the "good guys" in flight management square it away?
