rickair7777 made a post on the Help Forum re: Display Issues.

Guess APC made some changes to the forum skin/appearance and required Cookies to be cleared.

Was hoping to pickup the rare GSWC for 3 trips that were in open time last night. I looked this morning and they had all disappeared. Found them in the ATL trip coverage built with deadheads on front and back end and awarded as green slips to regular pilots.

I couldn’t find anything in the PWA but I’m not sure where to look.

Please submit those via the ACE app. Absolutely illegal. You may not get paid, but someone (or 3 someone’s) will.

This is a clear violation of the contract and probably the one I see happen most often. Whoever should have been awarded the trip in the original base should be paid. Submit it to ALPA. The trip coverage sequence is section 23N.
This happens often because the scheduler must manually rebuild the trip to move it. They then find out the reserves they thought they had are illegal or otherwise unavailable. At this point they are supposed to rebuild the trip again and move it back but it’s much less workload to simply cover it in the base it now resides with a white or greenslip.

Good explanation. This is one (of many) reasons why there needs to be a comprehensive automatic review of every single trip like this as well as many other types. For every time a line pilot happens to see a trip like this disappear then happens to follow up and see it go to GS/WS coverage in another base then happens to follow up again, there's probably 100 times it sneaks under the radar. That only incentivises the unilateral "deny deny deny" stratedgy. That doesn't just effect one pilot who may have gotten something lucrative but for their lack of gumshoe investigation; it cascades all across the pilot group and many pilots lose out that can't possibly know they lost out. If the needed review can happen with an app, awesome. If it takes 100% manual review by scheduling ninjas, so be it.

Auto Acknowledge/Auto Accept

Quick question:
I am flying all day tomorrow and have in a GS for the next day. If I select auto acknowledge and auto accept I assume that any green slip I get that fits my parameters will be awarded and acknowledged and it is mine. What happens if I only select Auto Acknowledge? Will it hold the trip on my line until I land and let me decide to accept or not, or will the system pass me by and move to the next pilot when it does not hear from me in the accept window?

Thanks
