Guess what? If marketing does not have plan for October by August we've found the problem. Other airlines have their PBS awards before we even see the bid package. That's the real problem and a faster mainframe to run the PBS optimization is only a bonus and not the actual solution. |

NO reason this shouldn't come out at least another week or two earlier WITHOUT giving up anything.

I think he's suggesting that collectively, we are a bunch of Mr Loopner's.

Move the whole thing forward several weeks. The "late" bids at sUA were one of the contract concessions to enable "marketing" more time to play with their schedule.

OK do you really want to fly with Captain **** or is it worth the sort and verification that your no-fly list actually gets considered.
I know let's do it this way; just allow the computer to make one run and then publish the results. Then let the buyer beware and individual pilot sort through the list of results and see if they got screwed or not. If so let the results be grieved and sent to the system board for review two months later. I'd say for most the five day wait has proven to be far less costly than letting the chips fall where they may. |

Why can't PBS be programmed to allow a no fly list from the start?
Also, a percentage of the trips awarded to LCAs are withheld from F/Os per the UPA. Can't withhold those trips until you know which trips will be awarded to the LCAs. |
AFTER the Captains get their lines. My point was why can't the software do this.
