Mine are transcribed and left as a text message. It's a wall of "invalid entry" text.

I have a hard time seeing this as a threat. You play the fishing game and get burnt, well that's just a hard lesson learned. Why would anyone expect that a this would be dropped? Almost 100% of the trips I fly, are awarded via arcos, and I have yet to experience these 'erros' we're hearing about. I'm inclined to believe it is user error as well.

I’ve heard the CPO have “mountains” of evidence showing that there is a lot of pilot user error in ARCOS leading to trips going on lines.

Probably confusion about white slips awarded a couple of days out.

Beats me. Seems pretty straightforward, but I'm no contract sharpshooter.

yeah, I didn’t read it the way Crown did at all. I read it as: if you make a mistake (Using auto accept or not), we no longer have the ability to bail you out, by dropping the trip. Presumably because so many pilots have been calling after making said mistake

The white slip process in base is the exact opposite of straightforward. Have you set it up before? Been burnt by a delayed PCS run? Crazy a Fortune 500 company runs their scheduling system on software that was outdated 2 decades ago.

Is it the same mountain of evidence "proving" sick leave abuse? If so, might as well name it Monarch Hill, FL

About the only way you get burned by a delayed PCS is if you try to set them up the third night prior. There is almost never a need to do that. Ive been doing it nearly every month for years now, so I find it straightforward, but ya, a proffer only check box would be a nice add.

Has anybody heard any inside scoop about negotiations so far? Specifically, if the company has a cooperative stance or not?
