A big part of their problem was holding off on hiring in 2014, for this year's needs.

Imagine a D.O. or CEO getting out on the line to actually see how the day to day ops works in real-time. Haha. That'd be a sight to see. I'd personally offer to let the fly around with me for a day or 4.

Anybody know why they re ran the 4_15 bid? 7 guys got bummped out of upgrade class and are now alternates. I'm guessing because guys got the time but how can they just re run an award? Email says due to "contractual provisions"... Can someone elaborate? Thnx

I was told it had to do with Sec. 24 A. 5. Which states that someone can submit a bid for upgrade provided they WILL have the hours prior to class date based on 75 hours per month.
Sooo, I'm guessing some guys bid CA upgrade and were bypassed for lack of hours and this provision came into play.
I would love to hear more about it from someone who was directly involved. It did suck to be promised upgrade only to have it yanked a week later.

Jerry Atkin knows first-hand.

That's exactly what happened. Guys that were 75 or less hours away were bidding and getting bypassed by the company because they didn't have 1k even though the contract allowed it so they had to re run the bid per the contract

Been thinking this for a long time now.

I was talking about Compass....the whole world doesn't revolve around SKW as much as you'd like it to. Notice that this is a Compass Thread...I have no idea what other airline's execs do. I DO know that our executives don't do ride-alongs to see what they're actually in charge of. If they do then they're doing it in secret and should be fired for their complete inability to run an airline or come up with ways to solve basic issues. I can't STAND getting emails from the high-ups saying we need to do better.

You took the bait?

I think the best part of that comment is 3:26am lmao
