Clint,

You’re probably right, I did send a soundoff, but I worded it very nicely and I’m pretty sure they don’t get read anyway, so no harm no foul.
I talked to a national jumpseat committee member and he said the company laughed at the hybrid system and said the IT was impossible. There is a new app based system in the works that will let everyone see who has the jumpseat reserved so that we can police ourselves and call out the douchbags who reserve 5 jumpseats for the same day. He said the new system wouldn't be online until Jan 2019.

Maybe TW needs to wave the paper a little harder.

Read Al's other post. I wonder what good ol' TW will answer when he gets directly asked about the jumpseat IVR and it's future!

When does this POS retire?

We had it before, so they can't find the old programming lines? Or does it have to be re-programmed because it's not superior enough?

What kind of BS is this? Who does this union represent?

Is everyone voting for RB?

For VC I'm picking the youngest guy, I think he was 41, figure he has the most to lose with loss of scope etc. He's a relative new hire I believe.
