Pool on Jeffie's IT Meltdown 3.0?
 
For the last 18 hours, the PBS bid packages in CCS (CAL side) have shown NOV, DEC, MAY, and JUN months. Then a few minutes later the MAY and JUN go away. It has happened over and over. Looks like they are trying to put in JAN, but it doesn't work.

I am predicting an FAR 117 IT meltdown of biblical proportions. Let alone what happens Jan 1st.

I feel sorry for those who get upset when there is a meltdown. I think it's pure entertainment.

IT Company with wings?

So what's the pool?

Who's closet to the total block time pad due to the impending meltdown?
The day (time?) the operation comes to a screeching halt?
Date/time Jeff (Howard?) tries to spin the IT failure?
How many days late the PBS awards are?

It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

CRM;

I was having a hard time narrowing it down as well. Maybe all of the above plus a lot more.

This forum could get busy with this. Maybe the highest, best use of APC.

We could look on the bright side, after the melt down, maybe Jeff will have an attack of conscience, and resign in embarrassment....

Robots don't have a conscience......

There will be plenty of hero's to help out.... Work Hard... Working Together... free SUV....

Dave Fitzgerald 12-01-2013 10:40 AM

I'm sure of one thing, I won't be waiving my contract to help the company out....

I thought for sure there was going to be an IT meltdown at the end of December.

But once again UAL exceeded my expectations. They still can't get the monthly bid packages out.

Here is another interesting thought. We are supposedly all one unhappy family, and can bid either side of the fence. But, if a UAL pilot bids a CAL slot, CAL still hasn't integrated parts of the new CBA. Does the UAL pilot lose work rules? (3.5 to 1, in particular).
