The processing times are so long because our "automatic" trip trade/open time system is done manually.

Why? How the hell does Expresjet have a more robust IT department than a company with a $5,000,000,000.00 market cap. WHAT THE FU--K

I don't think its an issue of the IT department. I think its perfectly capable, I think its more an issue of control. I directly asked a scheduler about it, and he told me flat out that they manually process ALL open time requests. Some of the process will auto deny, for example, requests that are within 2 days, or other "Legality" issues.

Doesn't make any sense. It's pretty black & white. It either violates the contract or FAR and it's denied, or it doesn't and its not.

As far as I know it's float vacation and trade board done manually but when someone drops for float all open time stops until a scheduler gets back from their smoke break in 2 hrs

All this open time talk has me wondering why I don't even see a tab for February. Are the rest of you able to see February open time and you're complaint is the processing times, or is it not even there? Perhaps I should check whether I'm still employed.

Who is Pole Etty? I don't see anyone close to that on my Alpa list of people
