My category is not short staffed at all fwiw.
The regional and LCC I was at before both offered some type of alert system when things dropped into open time during my reserve window, or however you wanted to set up your alerts. I also find myself refreshing open time to see if a possible assignment is headed my way. Would it be difficult for the company to set up email, text or micrew customizable alerts?
FLICA has this feature. I believe at American their union has a feature that sends out email alerts. Can't be that hard to incorporate.
