The company would love nothing more than to make their problem look like our problem. For us, it’s minimal short term pain for long term gain. For the company, it’s a massive, unsustainable cost and operational issue. It becomes even more unsustainable after we eventually get automated enforcement up and running. Time is on our side here.
I’ve used auto accept in the past and seen a trip sit past the point that I could commute in to take it—once accepted I called to tell them when I could get there and they said we’ll move on to the next guy—so I dont completely understand how these guys can get paid for trips they don’t intend to fly. I have inquired why a trip disappeared and was reassigned to another base which got a senior guy paid.
