Does any one know when your general makeup bank reverts back to zero after going minus 6 CH? It it at the beginning of the new bid month or when open time is released on the last Thursday of the month?

First day of the bid month. Not when open time released.

My first request was put in at 0300Z. It was processed at 0716Z. At least it was approved.


A 0924Z request took until 1134Z, and a 1042Z request until 1142Z, so I guess that is about when they started to get caught up.

I don't understand why they can't bring in 1 extra scheduler the night opentime comes out and have him do nothing but process trip trades?
It took them 6 hours to process my trades....ridiculous!

They can, but that would cost $$, that's why they won't

There is no requirement for them to proces open time requests in a timely manner. It simply is not on any manager's list of priorities. Just like the accepted fare scam.

They won't spend $1 to fix this "problem" outside of negotiations.

I don't understand why you think they would. The trips don't start for a few days and they don't care whether the trips get picked up Thursday or Sunday. It simply is no benefit to them financially, as everyone else has stated.

I'm sure the company would be glad to pay an extra scheduler to process trip trades just to make your life better...oh look, there goes a unicorn
