So in your opinion why so many uncovered trips with no attempt past white slip and reserves. And why is the airline cancelling only uncovered trips when they never finished the coverage sequence. Logic tells me the schedulers have been told to stop at some point in the sequence. Obviously there are exceptions because some green slips are going out but those appear to be one offs (parking jets, maybe a flight with high loads, etc)
Also, posters on this thread have mentioned that schedulers specifically told them that they were told not to go to green slip.
Im not arguing the merits of it either way but it is happening.
Its quite simple. Everything is very fluid. Trips are being built and canceled left and right. Scheduling has a list of canceled flights. They don’t have the manpower to translate that instantly into new rotations. They check before they cover something and see if it’s operating. If it is they cover it. If it’s not they don’t. Decisions on which flights are canceled or operated our made at a much higher level. I am stunned you guys think minimum pay crew schedulers hired off the street are running the airline.
They cover trips. They may get guidance on what the priorities are but that guidance comes from above.
