He’s dead on. The company doesn’t have time to take 12 minutes per person per step to cover trips. AA would be okay in theory if only pilots who wanted to fly put slips in, but that’s not what’s happening. Pilots are putting in blanket slips for entire month. I do the same thing. By the time I see it in open time, it’s too late. I don’t put on AA or auto acknowledge. If I get a call, I look at trip and accept it if I want it, then just wait. It is frustrating if it takes hours to award it to me. Sometimes it would be too late to commute up. AA will most likely be gone next contract. I don’t know the ratio of pilots that want it gone vs keeping it, but I know there are thousands on both sides.
