They're a bunch of items in play here but have you tried to call CS recently? Just to call in sick or well (would be a nice place for an APP) can result in long waits on hold. Additionally, we are in a perpetual self-inflicted IROP which exasperates the wait times.
I agree we should all help ourselves, but how many times have you been blatantly lied to by CS either because of lousy training on the PWA or because they came from the regionals and are used to brow beating the pilots.
I end with ALPA takes our money so we should expect a bit more than what we are currently getting.
Like I said, ACE Report is the easy button and no one is stopping you from doing that.
Also, the phone lines are still open and you can call to speak with a scheduling committee member during normal business hours.
