When do you get your schedule?
 
Just wondering when people get their schedule at different regionals. For example, when will you get Octobers schedule? Do you already have it, 2 weeks prior, Sept 30th?
What about the next day's schedule or your next trip? And how often are you flying something that isn't what you are supposed to do?
Thanks

At ASA, we get 17 emails from Karin H spaced 15 seconds apart when the schedules are due about a rogue unicycle-riding clown possie that came into scheduling and shot water out of their ties and sprayed the only computer (a Commorore PET, built in 1974) and ruined the floppy disk drive, causing a catastrophic meltdown(leaving Brad and SR Charlie unable to save their progress on the Oregon Trail), all while a NYC bicycle courier sent by mainline dramatically smashes through schedulings window on a razor scooter to deliver "last minute flying" (to the same cities at the same times as the previous 15 months...go figure).

Then we get an email from ALPA about how angry they are at the inability to agree on a schedule so they send the company an angry email(the equivalent of a highschoolers love note, complete with poetry and a check box at the bottom asking them to check yes or no if they like them) and choose not to enforce a contractually negotiated deadline.


When that is all said and done, we have blown by the deadline.

Short answer, we get our schedules whenever it is most convenient for the company. In their defense they work really hard(insert sarcasm) and have a short time frame(insert sarcasm) of ONLY 7 days to complete a computer generated solution.

Compass bids on the 12-17th, generally get schedules 21st or 22nd.

What captain beefy said at 9L as well! Although we're SUPPOSED to get our awarded line numbers on the 16th. Then comes the initial award/schedule enhancement window/final award on the 24th-25th so you may not know exactly what your schedule will be until then.

Line holders at Eagle will know either on the 19th or 20th depending on the month.

Line holders and reserve holders too. I think the only ones that know the schedule almost at the end of the month are the composite lines.

DirectTo 09-02-2011 12:48 PM

For the next bid (starts 9/26) we bid between 8/31 and 9/3. We'll know by the 8th or so.

higney85 09-02-2011 01:16 PM

9E is the 18th typically, up to the 20th at 1700ct by the contract.

At GoJet the bids close on the 15th and awards usually post 2 days afterwards.

freezingflyboy 09-05-2011 10:45 AM

At XJT, we do it in 2 phases. For lineholders (Phase 1), bid packets are usually posted the first week of the month with bids due the following Wednesday or Thursday (depends on seat). For example, October bid packets were posted on Sept. 2 with bids due 8am Sept. 7th for CAs and 8am Sept. 8th for FOs. Results of the bid are usually posted by 11am the day they are due. There are some minor fluctuations on the timing in the month but it follows the typical pattern.

Phase 2 (reserve and relief lines) are later in the month. For October Phase 2 bid packets are posted on Sept. 16th and the bid closes on Sept. 20th.

Gawwwd...I hope we don't go with ASA's system. I know a lot of people here at XJT I've talked to are already annoyed with incessant myMessages crap. Enough's enough already. If I have to open another email to open myMessages to open a message to open an attachment I am going to loose my mind!

You know your schedule by the 8th?! Oh mai gawd.

Please let us get this.

SkyWest: We bid from the 10th to the morning of the 17th. Awards used to come out the night of the 18th, but its been consistently on the 19th now for a while. On the 24th the trips post on our scheduling software and we can begin to manipulate them (try to drop, post, trade, etc)

This is one of the main reasons we do not want PBS. Regardless of all the details that relate to trip building, CBA parameters, etc. the one thing that is constant with PBS is the fact that schedules come out very late in the month. It is hard enough as it is to plan any sort of event, getting schedules that late would just compound the issue.

freezingflyboy, I hear ya about the mymessages bull****. There has got to be a better way to do that. An app or a way to push the emails to our phones. Inefficient.
