Just because you want to know about it is as far off as you can get from them just giving you the data.
if the union wants this for something the company is going to put a cost on it, if they will even give it out.
Union needs to put pressure on the company to ensure they are following the contract for draft calls. To easy for the schedulers to call the IC’s who they know will always say yes.I have complained about this for years.

I'd love to see our union put together something similar with the data that we have in hand (that the company can't hide from us). Between bidpacks and open time, we can gather planned flights. And between flight status and commercial apps we could source the outcome of all those flights. I'm not smart enough to do it, but we have the builders of FxCal, BidX, and Acrobid on our team. I'm sure with a little $$ and motivation we could have a pretty good idea of operational status.
Seems like we finally are...at least on order of calls.

Last night was a sh!t show with wet runways and crosswinds gusting from 29 to 37kts at times. One runway ops off RWY 27 for most of the AM launch this morning.
Many flights delayed at the gate for 2-3 hours.

True, routes and gauge changes. But once they are committed to, I'd like to know how we did.
I'm not sure what we'd do with the info. But I think it's helpful to know the health of your company's planned operations. Just like it's helpful to know if scheduling is following the contract with DRAFT call order, etc.
Dozens of cancelations due to WX is one thing, dozens CX due to lack of staffing in an "overstaffed" 4.a.2.FU timeframe is something else entirely.
It may also help ICs make more union supporting decisions, but I wouldn't count on it.

I hope guys find themselves in PFC, click VIPS SITE INDEX scroll down to the bottom of the page and then click “YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO”.

Name calling and division. You are misinformed and or intentionally passing misinformation. The off-rampers are now in control. That's why the coup had to happen quickly. That's why the comms were overwhelming and united in throwing JG under the bus while begging not to recall B1 and B8. We're going to see the same for B3, B6 and B11, assuming B6 can pick a date for the November meeting.
I want a contract that is an undeniable win for our pilots. With union members, especially some on the MEC, operating this way, that’s not going to happen. We’re on track for a repeat of C2015.You’ll see.
And unlike others, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. But I'm not.

There was an email sent out to the instructors yesterday afternoon with a lengthy list of trips that needed to be covered. They were asking for reinforcements to help out the operation.
Last night was a sh!t show with wet runways and crosswinds gusting from 29 to 37kts at times. One runway ops off RWY 27 for most of the AM launch this morning.
