The male FA uniforms look like a NYC doorman uniform or something from the movie Airplane. Definitely hideous. Only a flamboyant.... Nevermind.

trip coverage question
Looks like I was passed over for a GS. my pcs time stamp and the trip coverage time are exactly 30 mins apart. when do they pull the list to start calling for coverage? am I too late or do I have a case?

I thought they would do it real-time, as in pull the GS requests, assign a trip, pull the GS requests again, and so on.
Nope. Old school. Print the GS requests and assign trips until they're gone or move down the assignment ladder.

They sometimes do print a list and go from that ahead of time, but that's for their convenience. AFAIK there is no provision allowing them to bypass pilots with legit requests in prior to the awards.

You definitely have a case. I just looked up the language and it says nothing about a time prior. The assumption (and we all know about assumptions) would be they did it in real time. That's what is logical. But if they pull a list 1 hr (or more?) prior, and continue to work off that, it's not something contractual. That said, I know these sked folks are working their arsses off during that thrash to cover any trip. Anything they see as making their lives easier is the best way for them (read: use the printout they ran 1 hour or more ago) is the way they are likely to go. Pilots who hawk the schedule make their lives more difficult, but to borrow an oft used line from Bond, "THAT'S NOT (OUR) PROBLEM."
Before you call CS and complain, put the trip in question in Rules Auditor on Swap With Pot page. I've been surprised several times that I wasn't legal
What's the best way to pull old rotation data (as in the actual rotation?)
Thanks.
Thanks.
