If you took the time to compose and send it in the SOT it's a shame our union can't take the time to consider your input and compose at least an acknowledgement.
Twice I've sent in a suggestion/request that iCrew allow pilots to put in preferences for White Slips/Green Slips that include DH on the front end and specific destinations. As a commuter I would like to be able to pick up a trip that has a DH out to one of two airports I can get to easily for such trips. At least I got a reply, but not much more...definitely no action on it.
Thanks. I sent it on that first survey a year, or so ago, so I think it's long gone. I believe I even mentioned it on the second survey, when I was telling them to refer to the first survey, which were obviously ignored.
I just texted a fraternity brother of mine who's with United to see if they still have the same reserve system he described to me years ago. If so, it's far superior to ours, and yet another reason why we shouldn't be giving anything away.
