Automated reschedules?
 

Anybody knows what software Ted talks about on earning call for crew reschedule?

Where we got frustrated was it took us probably a day longer to recover than we needed to. And some of that comes with technology improvement and our ability to reassign crews faster than you can do manually. We've already made the decision to and are in line to implement that new technology later this year, and that happened prior to this storm and well prior to this year, but it does take some time to get the resources all deployed at the right time. So, yes, the answer to your question is we made significant improvements in that regard, but I still think there is room for us and, as Matt alluded to, on the revenue side as well to continue to improve.

At Delta they have automatic calling that starts going down the seniority list and starting calling guys interested in premium trips if they need to cover something fast. I think if you select to do the trip it goes to a scheduler that will then assign you the trip.

That’s probably silimar to what Ted was talking about. I know he said the word “rescheduled” but he probably just said that for the ease of the conversation.

I hope that helps to “add some color”.

The color is 'circumvent section 25.'

Just call fatigue, simple

Although that sounds like a cool IT upgrade, ask the delta guys about all the reroutes/reschedules... most guys here would throw a fit if they started that level of schedule changes. Our fleet size still has proportional sick events/weather delays etc that lead to these reroutes. We would likely see the same fate. But an automated system for x/y, text messages from CS would be cool.
Personally, if it adds some decent pay, im ok with it. But the majority here I think would hate it.

Crew Hotels during irops when your flight has cancelled, delay notifications, and that type of informational stuff would be ideal to receive in a text. Sucks being on hold for over an hour just trying to get a hotel room when everything is falling apart. I agree the reassignment/reroute and X & Y would need positive notification.

Ask a Republic guy about their app that notifies them of delays, you can see your other pilot and flight attendants and call or text them (if they opt in to be called). And it does other airline functions, crew pay, vacation/sick balance, etc.

Apparently it’s an almost one stop app for them.

I can confirm. Crew Life was a really good app.
