(he understands they take forever to answer the phone now) but often they can rectify the issue then and there.

Example - I had an ARCOS call in the middle of the night - I noticed (in my groggy state) that the batch size was too big. I screenshotted it and went back to sleep. Next afternoon, I called scheduling - after ten minutes on the phone while they researched it, I had 2 hours of pay on my schedule. Problem solved.

And like others said, WE are ALPA - if you don't like how ALPA is doing something, reach out to your reps, and join a committee. There seems to be plenty of work to go around.
