Good point, but it is another issue altogether.

Since we are changing the subject--

We should have 2 open time "areas". After all, other airlines do it.


One would be trips dropped and offered by the company before reserves get it. First come first serve.

The other would be trips offered from someone's schedule for trading or pick up. Perhaps even a PDO bump offer. When you see an offer your acceptance of the pickup/trade request would take it directly off the other person's line. This would solve the problem of "insufficient reserves" when you want to adjust your schedule. Making this electronic bulletin board should not be difficult for a "technology company" such as ours. Other airlines do it.

That would help our quality of life more than the "Seniority based Open Time" option offered in the jetflyer. All that does is make life better for some and harder for some. Zero sum game.


Don't even get me started on picking up part of someone else's trip. They do it other airlines.


(If you haven't figured it out, I'm making fun of the MD CA comments in the Jetflyer about what they do at "other" airlines)
