Many people are TDY this month after being told no TDYs were planned. Of those people many didn't know they were TDY until they tried to bid and it showed them in another base. The schedules are screwed up top to bottom and we just received an email telling us that they know a lot of it is awarded incorrectly but don't email them anymore. They aren't going to change it and they don't have time to respond to anyone's emails.

The new software can't track anyone's flight and duty times for January 1st - January 4th. No one can look and see if a plane is late. Stories of people being called twice in one night for a forced change to another trip (work rules allow this for any reason at any time) are being compared to people showing up at the airport and the rest of the crew is at home asleep because they were never notified.

We've sub-serviced dozens and dozens of flights to Falcon, Miami Air and Sun Country for thousands of dollars a flight hour while refusing to offer premium pay to our own pilots to pick them up.

Our union is suing the company to remove workrules they created while in negotiations. Seriously.

To say it's gone badly is to understate it. I hope I've shed some light on why it may be a blessing in disguise to get the TBNT email. Best of luck to all of you.
