I vaguely remember reading about this issue on this board in the past. Does anyone know if anything can or is being done about this? Are denial notices being forwarded to ALPA or is it a dead issue?
That's evidence the reserve coverage algorithm is currently set to stun. Sounds punitive to me and is unsat. The union needs all facts surrounding this case.
In the past the company liberally refused R day moves but gladly took drops for the same days. That was fishy but at least gave you a way out. They're clearly cranking up the "Reserve System" optimizer.
