Trip Trading sucks
Does anyone know if the current mechanization of trip trading is the end state? I mean we can not see what trips are open for the rest of the month? We can no longer advertise trips?
The seniority based trip trading is what it is whether each of us likes it or not. But not being able to see what is open for the rest of the month seems like a huge negative from what was available before.
Is it still a work in progress?

You can also advertised your trips. Look under potential open trips.
You can use the real time trip trade to pick up trips from other bases after 1300 local the day prior, or you can use the seniority trip trade system for other trades. Get familiar and it can work to your advantage. I have improved my January schedule via both trade systems so far. Good luck.

Im getting denied on a pickup for next week. Trip is open, but saying im not legal. It overlaps a trip which i was fbo'd for, so im guessing that the "fbo" on my schedule is making the system think i have a conflict. Called the Chief...now im waiting to hear back... while somebody else picks it up. Everything with this company is so half-a$$ed anymore...good luck to us all.

You can view open trips for the rest of the month for every domicile in open time. Also via the seniority trip trade search function.
You can also advertised your trips. Look under potential open trips.

We never had problems like this before at CAL, nor did you guys at UA from what I gather. This is an entirely new level of suck, but please continue with your anti CAL passive aggressive schtick in every one of your posts.

It is a learning curve... perhaps you need to give yourself time...
however, on the other forum, the United guys are saying it was never this bad and the CAL guys are saying it's like PE merger....
The CAL regional airline mentality is biting us all....
