I don't see how this reduces the 12 minutes per WS and OOBWS. Trip coverage to go through 30 farmers is still at least 6 hours.

We can have one trip in overtime and if it takes 8+ hours to run coverage on it, the amount of open time doesn’t matter.

We’ve had this much open time for 5 years now.

Which is why I’m skeptical when a crew assist answer is “no one picked up the trip we assigned you” and it was 5 hours and 36 minutes from the sick callout to assignment.

Yeah, but that is one trip, not however many we apparently have every day right now. If there are schedulers at desks and pilots for airplanes then there are fewer instances of trips taking 8+ hours to run coverage on and the operation remains far more intact. Yes, the coverage process is flawed. Yes, we need more people to staff all aspects of FLOPS. Both can be/are true at the same time. Neither a silver bullet.

take this a step farther. if someone calls in sick 24 hours prior, CS can be so undermanned or overwhelmed that they decide to not deal with it until within 8 hrs of report. that's the decision they appear to be making with a lot of trips in the last few months.

CS doesn’t wait to run coverage on one trip until the other is covered.

It doesn’t matter if there’s 1 or 10, they can run coverage on all of them concurrently.

Probably because the DBMS software update won’t be loaded until 2 days prior to the March Bid period, which is the 28th.

So they already missed their own target? “The template that will allow you to submit a Quick Slip will go live in iCrew on February 25.”

As for how to, Scheduling Alert 26-01.
