One other point, the guy who started this thread asked a question. Then gets chastised. Valid question since this is not normal to not have A’s awarded by pay day. He may not have known that there were illegal rotations in ATL.
“What are you willing to trade for that?” This is a question that needs to stop being asked at every single turn. It’s a weak approach to negotiating, especially on small ticket items.
The system we use loops back multiple times during the runs for 14,000 plus pilots. Once the runs are complete they are sent over to ALPA to audit. ALPA often asks for reruns before approval. If we give up are ability to audit the results I am sure the company will be quite happy to provide a earlier completion date.
