I know let's do it this way; just allow the computer to make one run and then publish the results. Then let the buyer beware and individual pilot sort through the list of results and see if they got screwed or not.
If so let the results be grieved and sent to the system board for review two months later.
I'd say for most the five day wait has proven to be far less costly than letting the chips fall where they may.
I believe the points made were as examples of why the system is not a very good one. Why does it take so long? Because the vendor and UAL are too cheap to improve the system. That won't happen till we make it a priority at ALPA.
Schedules so late in the month are a very real problem. One that should be addressed along with not honoring seniority and others. I for one am not willing to just sit and accept a sub standard product.
Along with these problems, the PBS gurus seem to be drinking the koolaid. They essentially say that this is the way the system works, suck it up and learn the system. It should not be working this way. I have learned the system. When you finally figure out how it works, you way to yourself, why in the world did we accept this POS?
