That’s probably silimar to what Ted was talking about. I know he said the word “rescheduled” but he probably just said that for the ease of the conversation.
I hope that helps to “add some color”.
Although that sounds like a cool IT upgrade, ask the delta guys about all the reroutes/reschedules... most guys here would throw a fit if they started that level of schedule changes. Our fleet size still has proportional sick events/weather delays etc that lead to these reroutes. We would likely see the same fate. But an automated system for x/y, text messages from CS would be cool.
Personally, if it adds some decent pay, im ok with it. But the majority here I think would hate it.
