A text message from vips whenever your schedule changed (ie trip trade approved) would save the company a lot of band width if that was their real objective.

Good idea, I like it ... I had another VIPS automation thought years ago. Instead of discipline threats when folks forget to check in for their deviation trips, how about a phone call from VIPS saying, "You neglected to check in for your trip, perhaps you forgot? Would you like to check in now?"

I couldn't get anyone to listen :eek:

I've been locked out just looking at all the md-11 open trips for the CIC makeup bid thing. I wasn't even able to see every trip to decide my input before I reached the max. I complained to my ACP. There was nothing he could so, he said.

That would be a good idea, I would suggest a "Where R U" text 2 hours prior to the 12 hour window would solve a lot of problems but might make the wife suspicious.

I like it! And what Mark said would be a plus too!

Try using BidX. You can download all of the open time for the next month and look at it offline. :D

If the company is mandating the use of BidX for CIC/View Add needs they need to pay for it. By mandating I mean limiting our viewing of open time so it's impractical to do it manually.

BTW, I'm really motivated to support PBS now. :rolleyes: They can't use the technology they have now correctly! Secondary line errors have also been a running joke for years with no sign of improvement.

Maybe the schedulers were denied a cash raise, and the fact that this will make any scheduler leak even more valuable, has been added to their 'overall' compensation package?
And my apologies to the schedulers. The inside info may be coming from a different group all together. But some advance inside information is leaking from somewhere to a very select group. 'Scheduler' was used as a generic term for insider information.
So True,
You don't need 100 if you know to start checking/submitting a minute prior that you know the trip is coming out.

Funny, a few months back when we were talkin about calendar blockers, a bunch of guys were certain... there aren't guys using bots, trip trading for each other or doing bad things

Why did management even bother calling "offenders" in to talk to them if they were going to hand them an advantage like this?

Maybe it was a pep talk?

I had the union inquire about this issue a couple of years ago. The answer came back that there were only a few guys locked out during the peak view/add windows and the company didn't see any need to lift the limit. They view these arbitrary limits as an allowance; hence, you should be careful where and when you spend it.
