As it stands, the company has all the IT they need to make notifications worldwide. I would expect my union to enforce when EXACTLY I am required to check my work device for work assignments.
Just another quality of life give away to lump into this turf of a TA.
1. It’s voluntary.
2. Do you carry your EFB around with you on your last day off of reserve? When you’re at the beach sitting LSR?
3. The current practice is for CM to call your personal phone to notify you. Now, based on this voluntary program (I feel like I have to keep repeating the voluntary part) they can send an electronic message to the same device you currently use to answer the aforementioned phone call. For some pilots that may opt-in to this program, using an app may be more convenient than letting the CM call go to VM, listening to the VM, checking their schedule for legalities, calling CM back to wait on hold just to acknowledge an assignment.
4. It’s voluntary.
