Just figure out what you expect from the health rewards, and put the difference in as a one-time contribution from your PS check...

Anybody know if ALPA has the January FO awards yet? Pretty sure the CA awards came out on Friday but no sign of FO awards yet.

It's getting really old waiting 5 or 6 days for them to come out every month, but I guess compared to all of the other IT shortcomings at DL this one is pretty low priority.

I’m guessing every FO‘s no fly list keeps getting longer making it much more lengthy of a process to complete our schedules.

I think we should pass the hat. If 8,000 FOs toss in 2 bucks we could fund an extra 12 shifts/overtime a year to get our schedules no more than 18 hours after the As.

I also think they should be released by category so little ones don't wait for the big ones. No one has given me a reasonable argument why we wait for release en masse.

They were previously released by category, which resulted in a constant stream of complaints about why some categories came out first. It's also more efficient to upload all the results at once vs uploading one category at a time.

Basically most Bs would release... and two days later ATL88Bs would release.

As I said, haven't heard a reasonable argument why we should delay schedules for thousands of pilots on our list every month. Every category has its pluses and minuses...bid accordingly if it matters. And there's no way some efficiency of uploading results should outweigh the thousands of man-days of additional notice many of us could have to plan and shuffle our personal lives. What does that "loading efficiency" gain... an hour or two of one or two people's time?

JMHO.

My favorite is when it posts today sometime and you see that the run time was on Saturday morning, 2 days ago.

Just change it so that A's can't be released until all awards are released. Problem would be solved in a week.

Sadly this is probably accurate
