I beleive 12 N states this. Is it go no, but he was in NYC, they needed a pilot and he got a short end of the stick. Hopefully he will get premium pay for today, but I do not see that in the PWA either. They will give him his off day back and explain that it was totally out of their hands.
I think that the issues in the NE were some of the worst the company has had to deal with in many years. They literally did not know what hotels people were staying in.
This gives me great confidence in the ability of the company to do its job. This seems to be another verification of the badly needed upgrade of IT at DAL. THis is one of my big issues when you have guys on here that complain about a jumpseat policy (peanuts) and then the company seems to not even have the ability to manage its workers in complicate weather situations(possibly huge money losses). So how much money does it cost the company when it does not properly staff the airline, but that is not a problem in that it rewards the pilot group with GS flying??? I agree that the GS system works in that it cost the company to do this and they choose to give green slips rather than staff the airline correctly. The numbers may even support this mode of operation. Who Knows??????
