I don't care what the reason is except they need more schedulers

 

I just held for an hour and a half and I was number 18 to pick up a trip for tomorrow and was hung up, called back to be caller 21....

 

52 minutes I spent today. This is an embarrassing operation.

 

I really hope we are doing more than just hoping we get more schedulers, because we won't if we don't do something.

While you are on hold for that time you(we) should be filling out an NCC. Contract allows us to check in via contacting scheduling in lieu of computer checkin. Holds of this length don't allow us to check in and an NCC needs to be filled out.

An ASAP should he filled out too. And before some say "you can't ASAP hold time," you can. Per the FAA AC on ASAP:

"Reports that identify a general safety concern, but do not appear to involve a violation of the regulations"

Needing to reach a scheduled to discuss 117 duty times and not being able to. I would be curious to see the FAA rep's view on the ERC if 50 of these come in.

Take the time to fill it out and we may see results. If nothing is done on our end, it will never change

 

Landed at 11:30, next flight canceled (12:40dep) didn't get to hotel until 7pm.

Was so awesome

 

What? Not sure where that is coming from.

 

Ramrod is one of the senior guys who doesn't like the fact that those "noobs" will make up the majority of votes for the next contract.

 

Prepare to be butt hurt in the next contract Ramrod. Us noobs don't have the same opinions as you old turds.

Last I checked all the noobs mean this place is growing and succesfull. Not a bad thing.

 

i guess we'll see how much of a voice the noobs get at the negotiating table when they throw the first TA at us. I might be cynical but I don't have high hopes.

 

NCC and where do you find it?
