Contact the Sched Committee Chair
 

Highly recommend you reach out to SK....as he will be more than willing to tell you exactly what his team is doing to work the ACE reports.

He will also tell you that he is maxed out on number of worker bees currently because of the amount of funding he gets....when I chatted with him recently he said he had requested more funding so he could hire more folks.

The ACE app is easy -- kudos to the developers, and to ALPA. Getting someone to answer the Crew Scheduling phone to resolve a problem is nearly impossible. In my opinion, this combination leads to the aforementioned backlog of ACE reports.

​​​​​​If we paid every volunteer for their work, your dues rate would be like 25%. Relax man. It'll get done. No one cares how much you paid in dues and nor does how much you paid relate to how fast your scheduling report gets rectified.

If you wanted it to go faster, you need to use your own unpaid time to volunteer.

nobody thinks it’s acceptable all the time, but right now is an extraordinary time. Calm down and wait out the process

I get the frustration, especially after thinking the company is jerking you around. I really do understand. We’ve all been there.

You’ll get paid, it just takes time. Whether you get the money now, or in your next month’s check, you will get it.

Just need to have some patience. Direct your anger at the company’s continued PWA violations, not at the volunteers working to help you.

For every sched violation I input, I send an email to the CPO highlighting the fact this is going on quite frequently out there.

If they are blind to it now, then maybe more of us sharing this with our "management" gives them visibility as well.

It doesn't take long to type up a quick email, I try to CC my LEC reps as well. Although I know they are fully aware of the issues and not trying to spam them out.

If you're so strapped for cash that you can't live for a month without that extra pay then I humbly submit these money saving tips to help you out of this tight spot you've found yourself in:

1) Consider making coffee at home instead of buying it from a coffee shop
2) Buy generic brand items instead of name brand products
3) Pack a lunch instead of buying it each day, and consider only eating out for dinner once per month
4) Bundle up in socks, sweaters, and warm pants instead of running an expensive heater in your home
5) Utilize your local library instead of buying expensive books

It's tough being a commuting narrow body FO after 15 years, but hopefully these tips and tricks will help ease the strain of not receiving that extra pay for a month.

For once I have to agree with OOfff on this one, Hockey I am normally in agreement with you 90+% of the time, but not on this one my friend.

Angst not at the DALPA sched folks, they are trying hard and working thru the mess the kompany has created. I'm thankful we have this group working on our side for us.

You'll get paid. Hopefully that dude/dudette that didn't get that greenie gets paid too!!!

OOfff hitting the nail on the head. Nice post my friend :)

Prior to the holiday meltdowns, we had around 150 Ace reports and were less than a week response time. We currently have 1110 reports in the queue and are about to start working Dec 25th reports. If it was a violation of the PWA, you will get your pay. In the meantime, you can reach out to your CPO and Crew Scheduling to have them make you whole. It is the company who violated your contract, not the ALPA volunteers who are advocating for your pay remedies.
