CS: Denied
I call, “You cannot swap four day trips for anything other than four or five day trips.”
“Yes, you can, as long there is a reserve coverage for LCR4, and in this case it supports it.”
CS, “No, you can’t, it will be denied every time.”
Good luck. Not only do the pairings suck more than ever, the company refuses to use the ALPA set, we also have incompetent schedulers who appear to enjoy misinterpreting their own rules.
So tired of this crap. I don't even try to swap/trade that often but it always gets denied. Also incredibly frustrating that there's premium open time sitting there and I can't touch it because I have a scheduled trip yet some senior guy with weekends off can pick it up without issue.
I also went backwards in seniority this month in base as an FO. If I didn't feel like we're on the verge of a recession I'd be trying to jump ship. Friends at DL/UA are only moving onward and upwards quickly, while I'm still getting BS weekend redeyes and
losing seniority.
