This might be a matter of terminology. Scheduling disputes were considered grievances at NWA, whereas at DAL they are not.

When you had a scheduling issue at NWA, you were told by Contract Admin to "put in a sheet", and that began the grievance process.

At DAL you do essentially the same thing, except there is no form, and someone in the Scheduling Committee takes down your information.

In both systems, they go into a pile, and are eventually worked out with the company. Both systems produce the same result with albeit a slightly different philosophy.
