Sure, if you get buy-in from the pilot group (or your BES, at least) that no one will have a slip for anything they won’t fly.

In reality, ancman is still gonna get IA calls whether ancman slips or doesn’t.

that has nothing to do with it. we were discussing unwanted phone calls and being disturbed. people are mad about getting GS calls for trips they won't get. I'm saying it's as easy to take your blanket slip out to avoid unwanted calls as it is to block the VRU number for IA...maybe you didn't know that

Forgive me for thinking all the mentions of IA calls had anything to do with IAs. That’s my mistake.

My thoughts exactly. It is my contractual right to have a blanket slip in. Period. This is a company problem to solve, and I sure hope ALPA got a meaningful quid in exchange for expanding ARCOS batch sizes.

OK, but then don't whine when you get a call that disturbs you.. you guys don't seem to understand the issue. I could care less if you have a blanket GS in, but there needs to be a way to get through trip coverage faster since everyone does. if you're gonna complain about getting calls for trips you won't get the solution is to take your slip out or turn your phone off. what's so hard to understand?

it’s not hard to understand. Some folks simply think the problem is not green slip and ia coverage ladders. The problem is insufficient staffing, which is a company problem to solve.

You won’t ever find me complaining about getting a GS or IA call that disturbs me. I have the VRU and ARCOS numbers silenced if I’m not interested in flying at that particular moment. The blanket slip stays in though.

Getting through the coverage ladder faster is the company’s problem to solve. They will ultimately need to provide a quid for any contractual relief.
