Only the company and ALPA have access to enough data in DBMS to ensure that all parties are paid properly in a reroute or 23M7 situation. Our options are either trust that the company pays all involved properly, or file an ACE report and let ALPA verify it.

Like I said, most of my ACE reports have resulted in additional pay going to myself or another pilot. Pilots should be filing more ACE reports whenever they see something fishy, not less.

DALPA absolutely needs to invest more of our sizable dues payments into the scheduling committee. They’re a business and we are their customer.
