I think they may have killed UAL-SKED as well. Or at least its so screwed up right now that its giving bogus info. I tried to check my status and open trips. Both times it said... "The date requested, December 30th is not valid." That response was given for the 29th, 30th and just for grins, again for January 1.
They left me a message last night to call for an assignment the next day. I called back and the guy said that I had no assignment. Sweet. They called back later and gave me a 7 AM short call, which I acknowledged. They called back again and asked my smartphone if I wanted to fly a 0710 departure instead. Alas, I was in rest for my upcoming 0700 SC and didn't get the message till 0701 this morning. Which really is too bad because I'm pretty sure that I could have single-handedly saved the airline from its implosion.
There are some entertaining tales of scheduler woe on the other forum as well. If I didn't have a mortgage to worry about and a retirement to fund it would be funny. But I do and its not. Someone really needs to step up in Willis and get this crap fixed. Its starting to look like 'Shares' all over again. I really hope that I'm wrong.
