Did they tell you they are not a number, but a free man?

shack.

Maybe we could consider trading future batch sizes for more RCC control over initial bid packages and /or network’s imaginary capabilities.

or simply expand the optimizer for pilot input/use prior to schedule awarding.

Part of the blanket gs problem is the company’s blunt approach to initial and broken-up trip construction. Honor more of our inputs and we won’t be forced to ignore 10 gs to discover the ones we’d actually fly.

or perhaps: Allow us to ‘tailor a pairing’ before it’s even created and we could be very efficient for the co and also flying desirable trips. I recognize there would be limits to the ‘tailor a pairing’ concept since some legs are simply undesirable but still need to be flown. Maybe the RLL formula could be a starting point.


fwiw I like the lottery suggestion better than this one above.

Are Inverse Assignments sent out in batches or one pilot at a time? I suspect it's the former. Today I received the automated call, hung up, looked at the rotation, and when I had called back (probably 2-3 minutes max) a senior pilot had already received the IA.

I was under the impression it went 1 pilot at a time starting at the bottom.

They are done technically one at a time, but it's a computer doing it automatically with fractions of a second apart. So in practice it feels like one big call and the first one to answer gets it.

Also, everyone would bid captain or widebody fo. No more captains at bottom of seniority list. Paychecks are a lot smaller too. Been there, done that.

sounds like a good case for an ace report. You might get laid for the trip without even working it! It can’t be within the spirit of the contract to call dozens or scores of pilots within seconds of each other and then simply award it to the first responder.
