Default Where are the April bids for FOs?

Seeing how the company continues to fail at even the most basic tasks I have determined that I will make up my april schedule as needed. The fact that we have to wait until the 17th each month to plan for next month is ridiculous.

Add onto that the vacation snafu then tagging on an extra 2 days to get bids out (by 00:01 03/19) and still failing to release them now 11 days prior to next month is unbelievable. Actually it is totally believable coming from this S.Show.

Rant over.

Remember that merging is difficult, we are on pace behind Delta, there is a pilot shortage, and it's been a cold and snowy winter. I'm confident if you call your chief pilot advocate they will work with you to get your days off as needed.

And as per the CPO. "Sorry we are unable to move days off due to IT issues". That was the answer I got last time I tried it.

You should cut down on that Kool-aid.
CPO, pilot shortage, where did you hear that BS, in AOPA or Flying magazine?

Read sarcasm much?

Or if you're responding with an equal amount of sarcasm, well done!

Unless you voted no, you've got no right to complain.

If you voted no, you were smart enough to see this coming a long time ago and should not be surprised.

I can complain because I wasn't allowed to. It's due to my furlough status.

I just find out that my 1 May vacancy award will not be effective until mid to mate summer due to 756 staffing. Just super..
