we don't have information yet.

 

They made a killing on Azul. This a public company, public info.

 

You are under no obligation to accept any changes to your schedule after you've checked in for an assigned pairing (unless RDY is assigned), or while you're not on a RAP. If you check in for a PM 4 day trip and and hour later they start blowing up your phone wanting you to accept a 515AM show on your next set of reserve days you don't have to accept it. Let it go. It will vanish eventually, they're just seeing if you will bite.

Or a standup, or a red eye...exc. If the EFB locks you out unless you accept changes they can have even more control over your life than they already do. At least with the current setup they have to at least halfway make up their mind at least a small time in advance. With this system they could constantly change your assignments giving you min rest and turing everyone into 24 hour reserves. AM and PM would be out the window even more than it already is.

Then there's the issues with the lineholders. 30 hour overnights, turns getting added on MDG days, exc.

SAPA should be asking for the moon if they're even considering this.

 

JP is gonna roll over on this and stick our taters in the air. He wants a corner office in the worst way, sad thing is he won't get so much as a reach around for his Quisling efforts.

 

Sad thing is, they are not. They're willing to trade it for the 1-2-3 policy. 1 hour extra pay for reflow within daily footprint, 2 hours if outside daily footprint, and 3 hours outside pairing footprint. Oh, and the first 2 are also MANDATORY.

 

Can we call MM in from the bullpen to handle this one?

 

He got too burnt out from being undermined during his tenure, I think he is done fighting for now. Wish he could have stayed.

 

Yeah that seems to happen to all the good SAPA reps right??

Anyone who gives a damn and tries to make things better gets burned out and quits SAPA or SW. We have 2 reps that I can think of now that actually listen to the group and try to do the right thing. Oh well, I guess when the brewing chitstorm (TM CCB) hits high enough on the seniority list, it will be too late.
Goodbye bidding and hello showing up at the airport and spinning the wheel of reflow!! Those extra two hours will be awesome on those rare times they make it on my check. It's not like we ever have payroll issues around here.

 

For the ERJ side of xjt (don't know if it's the same on the CRJ side), they cannot use the EFB for any notification.

 

Regarding the IAH base, is 100% of the flying done with the 700s?
How long before a new hire can hold a line there?
Thanks!
