Anyone else think it's ridiculous that the ace app is backed up to 25 days last time I heard? There was a time when I would get a response from the scheduling committee on the same day. This was all pre-covid and before the union purge. 25 days. 3 1/2 weeks. Absurd.

 

I agree there probably needs to be more people working it. But also, there needs to be less stuff the company does that we need to ask about…..

 

I think all the shenanigans over the last month or so have really put them behind.

 

You could volunteer your free time if you think they are so understaffed.

 

You are welcome to join us working them

I think it's ridiculous that you're complaining about the ALPA volunteers that are processing the ACE reports. I flew with one the other day - he is dedicated, works hard and said two things. First, the reroutes, 23K and inexperienced schedulers are causing the number of reports to shoot up, and 2, a decent number of the issues could be resolved with a phone call to scheduling by the pilot. (he understands they take forever to answer the phone now) but often they can rectify the issue then and there.

Example - I had an ARCOS call in the middle of the night - I noticed (in my groggy state) that the batch size was too big. I screenshotted it and went back to sleep. Next afternoon, I called scheduling - after ten minutes on the phone while they researched it, I had 2 hours of pay on my schedule. Problem solved.

And like others said, WE are ALPA - if you don't like how ALPA is doing something, reach out to your reps, and join a committee. There seems to be plenty of work to go around.

 

He's too busy complaining

 

Thanks to all you volunteers working on this.

I think I'm like 800 or something in the que.

Whatever. I know you guys will work it out.

As 2 others have indicated a combination of fast and loose sched covergage by the Kompnay and us having the ACE app to report these more efficiently

 

I have an ACE report in over a RR. Called scheduling first. They said it’s a Tracking issue, ‘I’ll forward it and it will get reviewed.’ Not really an answer, therefore the ACE submission. Personally, I think there is such an enormous volume that Scheduking and Tracking are happy to let us sort it out.

 

Got it. So you guys think 25 days is acceptable. I pay almost $5000 per year in non-tax deductible dues. To me 25 days isn't acceptable. I appreciate the work of the volunteers. Maybe we need to pay people to get more people working on this.
