With the old CMS system, open trips used to be posted a few minutes before migrating over to CCS. Up till recently, anyone could access open time in CMS with the command /for cmptoc (as I recall). Now you need a higher level of login credentials than us line pukes have.

Picking up open trips could be done also on CMS.

What is really perplexing about HGK ferry flying is that is just shows up at the last minute, as if no one knew if that airframe was scheduled for heavy maintenance a day or two before.



Does this indicate that he has an inappropriate login? If so, it should be easy to track, and if someone is an accessory to inappropriate action they all should receive punitive action. If it’s ALPA, then it’s worse.

I dunno about that.

However, the CMS open time page should be open to any line pilot as before. Don’t know why it is restricted now. That page provides a lot of transparency in trades and pickups. For any given day, it will show the trip, employee number, and time (to the second) of when the trade or assignment occurred of any trip in open time. If I recall correctly, it also had the employee number of the scheduler- if one was involved.

Drops all his trips and is always available to do the MX Hong Kong stuff . Your right he isn’t that senior but if always available and the senior guys are locked into their awarded Gucci schedule then they aren’t even legal to snag the MX flights . It’s a gamble but works for him sounds like.

Learn to use the information resources available to you to track trip ownership history, assignment time stamps, schedule histories, etc. You will see plenty of fishy stuff. PDR it all.

Yes, there are a couple of reason someone MIGHT block their schedule history, but I think it's fair to say USUALLY it's because they are pulling something shady, and not just once, but routinely. These individuals need to be held accountable if they are circumventing seniority to get deals or unethically screwing their compadres.

Yes that’s him. He was the guy when I was EWR 756 reserve who ALWAYS snagged 764 trips no matter what the circumstances. He’s always had his schedule blocked, which is hilarious because who among us needs to hide a damn thing from our colleagues? Luckily I’ve got some folks who can bypass the block and send screen grabs of this ********’s schedule. Month in and month out he’s all over the system (different bases) with PPU trips, and many with DH’s on one end or another. *****

Guys, he’s stealing from us plain and simple. How much larger will his profit sharing check be than yours? If he’s a 7 yr F/O making $300+ large a year, for flying a fraction of what you fly....you do that math. I don’t know about you, but I work my tail off for my cash. This ** steals, from all of us. He should be fired and his cohorts too.

They can block their schedules from line pilots but they can't block it from union reps, status reps, and certain committee members. The union folks need to pay attention.

Yeah,

But who is accountable and responsible to track him and stop him?

Post his ALPA number. Lets spot light him and post all his trades and all his schedule enhancements in real time. All those in his BES need to protest and PDR every trade he makes.

So, If I read between the lines he used to have some sort of super access but is no longer in management or supervisory status, but still retains his log in. if our ALPA reps and front line supervisors can't put a stop to this then let Oscar handle it with HR.

I think one of the things that needs to happen is systemwide open access to all calendars, including schedule history. You would be surprised how many people currently have their schedule blocked (intentionally or unintentionally)

ChalupaBatman, how do you really feel?

Not defending the guy, but there are people who work the system and pick up/trade out of base with premium pay.

Again, if a pairing is picked up out of base a fake dh is added to both ends of the trip.

There are those that work hard for their money and there are those who work smart for their money. Being able to swap/drop a high hard time then pick up one with ppu or a dhd on one end is an easy way to make lots of extra money and or work less for the same pay. Perhaps it’s time you bid a BES that gives you seniority/ability to actually do these things.

For those that are frustrated with people getting good trips. I reinterate you to learn how our trip trade system works. I was blown away with what some guys could do and you know what I did? I didn’t scream bloody murder. I read, read some more, asked anyone who seemed to have an idea of what’s going on lots of questions. It’s complex but not rocket science.
