Crew planning doesn’t track hotel costs. Or transportation costs. Crew planning has no idea what the actual cost of displacements are (according to Swapa Contract admin/scheduling analytics). Different silo, different department’s problem.
You’ve also got crew planning telling displaced people to remove their #1 choice (base they were displaced from) to remove DRR and then add it back so they qualify for a secondary vacancy. Heard that straight from Contract Admin.
There’s an active grievance over displaced hotels being denied.
June vacancy had to be rerun because they f’d it up. No positive vacancies so everyone getting into DEN was a secondary. They totally disregarded the DEN base rep’s vacancy bid (he downgraded to stay in base and as base rep) and awarded the spot to someone jr. He protested and got his spot back. This is simple computer programming!
Agree the CBA needs to be changed. But to think people in DAL have a clue is being generous. This is either criminally negligent or extreme stupidity. I can’t wait for the next meltdown caused by it.
