Not sure what logic it uses to distribute inbound calls but that’s what I’ve been told.

probably a blend of sick call usage and PWA voting record. Assuming Sailingfun hasn’t figured out who you are here and forwarded it to the company.

some sarcasm, some not.

2 phones?! What?! This sounds like fringe deal making… you are trying to prevent others from accessing IAs and tying up call capacity. What’s next 3 phones, 4?

I make this post in jest. I am not serious but given the angst on the internet about this I thought I’d post before somebody does with a serious accusation. We all need to CTFD. Not specifically APC but some of the other socials are getting pretty bad about it.

That will suck for them when/if they correct the 23M7 pay and all that money gets taken away from them 😬

Correct me then. My understanding is we are agency shop and if article 8 charges are successful, you are kicked out of the union and the company must terminate you.

Being a member of the union is optional. Paying dues or a “service charge” (if a non-member) is not.

(See PWA Section 27)

Just updated to Arcos + yesterday and got it working. Had a GS in for a 1 day today. A trip went out on IA this morning that I was not notified for.
Are people using crew assist to deal with this, or going straight to STS?

I am not getting calls but I already did A#1 so in theory they should call everyone before me.

FWIW, Im in a well manned category. 29/30 days are still blue for January after the 0700/20th PCS run.

I got 3 IA calls this morning. 2 Arcos callouts. However the trip in question went out as a GS and I was in no way notified of it.

I’m confused. You say it went out as an IA, but then that it also went out as a GS too?

If a rotation went out as a GS and you didn’t get a call then 99% chance the error is on your end. Common issues:

- there is an error on your slip entry that in some way excluded you from that trip
- you entered your slip after the trip coverage report was run
- you were in some way not legal for the rotation, or legality was affected by a sick call that moved you to the bottom of the list
- your ARCOS app isn’t set up correctly, or your phone provider in some way blocked the call. You can use the app to make a test call to make sure it gets through.
