I had to field calls almost on a daily basis, from Pilots who thought someone else was “victimizing’ them because they looked at someone else’s schedule and felt that they were being shorted some how. Same few guys/gals every time. Never, I repeat Never Not Once we’re these self-appointed auditors correct in their analysis of the other Pilot’s schedule.

Out of curiosity, how much “special treatment” have you been able to discover while screening your fellow Pilot’s work schedule?

Just seems like a tragic waste of one’s off time to me. Like I said, I don’t care one way or the other. As a solid line holder, I have as little interaction with crew scheduling as possible; but I will state that I’ve found the schedulers to be quite honest. Not saying that they don’t exploit the weaknesses in our UPA, but I’ve never caught one willfully lying to give “special treatment “ to another Pilot.

I do agree with you that we are ALPA. I think that you’re in favor of schedule transparency for honest utilization. I’m only referencing the few bad apples out there who have nefarious or paranoid purposes for viewing another Pilot’s schedule…we’re probably talking apples and oranges.
