I have never been one of the chosen few, but watching a reserve fly a premium, easy, productive trip, saving the company hundreds of dollars while I fly an unproductive POS 4 day makes me want the old trip trade process back yesterday.
I have had zero success moving days off since the implementation of the seniority trip trade process. Under the old system with bad day worse day trading I could usually make a trade work. I'd gladly give the trip trade mafia back their thievery for that.

Can we please go back to realtime already??

It's new to LCAL as well. It's not about CCS, it's the contract and once again we screwed ourselves. Improving the trip trade process might be at the top of my wish list on the next contract.

Next contract...I hope we accrue more than 5 hours per month for trip trading purposes.

20-P-4-b If immediately prior to the first run of the trip-trading system the pay value of all Open Trips in a Category is less than one percent (1%) of the pay value of all Trips available for awarding in Monthly Schedule Preferencing for that Category, the Company shall allow enough Trip drops in that first run so that the pay value of those dropped Trips equal that difference (between one percent (1%) and the current Open Trips). The intent of this provision is to seed trip trading.

Or at least more than 1%.

The 1% threshold is too low. It effectively allows for no trip dropping to repair PBS errors.

The first step to fixing this...publish a realistic minimum # of reserves per day based on historic data. The number should be visible and no more of this "trusting" the computer that there is "no coverage".
If you make the trip trading a viable and useable system...sick time use will drop dramatically. Maybe that's the answer...they want us burning up our sick time
