I'm curious if it has anything to do with the union's scheduling committee being cut out of seeing the pre-awards last month. Many times they would catch things and have the bids rerun. According to the contract we have the right to have our union officers involved in the schedule creation and bidding process. I don't believe this is being honored by the company right now. I think they're counting the summer being over by the time the union can rectify the situation.
It sounds like people in both bases have received bad schedules. Looking at the bid packet the LAX trips have historically been more efficient then MSP (or DTW), but seems like now everywhere is getting worse. Seems rare to see 30 hr 5 days anymore...lucky to see 25 hour 5 days...
