I don’t have a problem with them developing and using an app to notify us. We don’t have to operate in the Stone Age when it comes to technology.
We had such a program on our phones at my last job and it was damn handy. Direct messaging beats the South Florida phone tree fiasco, emailtdown, hair care and tire center outfit that they’re running now. But I’d appreciate them approaching the union first and working out an LOA. There’s no need to wait 2+ years to get this done, and asking the company to increase our monetary benefits or we’ll make them keep trying to contact us at the cutting edge of 1997 is just as silly as it sounds.

Slippery slope that your boss Can reach you to reschedule you? Doesn’t really matter to me how they reach me.. I’ve only been rescheduled once ever.. and if/when it happens I maybe cranky for a little bit … but I’ll just go fly it and move on with my life. I personally haven’t found the reschedule language to be the scary boogy man everyone thought it was gonna be . Especially compared to my friends at delta and American that literally have zero schedule integrity.. constant reschedules thru hubs. Weather it be carrier pigeon, Batman light, or phone I’ll accept the reschedule as part of the job and move on my merry way .. don’t be that guy that changes out of pilot clothes on the plane to avoid gate agent spotting you and asking you to call scheduling ..

So this *isn't* the quid?
Like anything else, you can choose to be selective with it. I plan on not downloading the app at all.
But... when I absolutely need it for my own reasons, I'll download it, use it to my advantage, and when I'm done delete it off my device. I'm sure it beats getting hung up on by the scheduling line.

The only reason Delta keeps their cancelations so low is they perpetually delay a flight that should be classified as cancelled (delayed 14+ hours to the next day). They will bend over backwards to keep it from being tallied as a cancellation, even if it means inconvenience to the passengers by continuously stringing them along.
When I worked for the regionals, American and United would (typically) cancel appropriately when needed. I had a better chance of getting struck by lightning than Delta canceling a hopeless flight.
