I tried to pick up IA’s today that should have gone to me via GS. Watched them both go to pilots thousands of numbers junior while sitting on hold for 30 plus minutes. I never did get through to scheduling. Just gave up after trips were covered.
THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR MAJORITY OF OUR PILOTS. I am ready to cash in our leverage to fix it ASAP.
QS will fix this problem. I'm in the same boat. I can always get a good G#1 as a 3-5 day trip. Still can, but I also used to be able to get G#2 or even 3 as some crappy turns or day trips that no one else wanted. Now those types of trips are almost exclusively covered via IA, which I generally miss out on, plus I'm not senior enough to ever get 23m7. I will be much happier when QS are implemented and I can get back to holding premium trips that my seniority affords. Between the pay + banked PB days I'm missing out on every month I can't win the IA roulette wheel I miss out on 4-5k in earnings.
