Wow.
Makes no sense.
West's DPU (drop/pick-up [company open time]) and ETB (which we actualy call "personals", as in personal trades)
is definitely MUCH better than Easts.
Hopefully, it can be the system we keep.
I guess it depends on which one the company thinks is costing it more money.
We have LOTS of two day trips, and most of them come on back-to-back lines, which many FAs bid with the intent of dropping half.
Of course, the hope is that reserves will pick them up, being desperate for $$ and able to fit pretty much only 2days on their lines.
Of course, ANYONE (lineholders and reserves)is able to grab a 2day off personals if they want it.
Sometimes the poster will sweeten the deal to get their trip to go before others.
I just came from the ETB, looking for a 2day, right before I came here as a matter of fact.
If you want to get rid of the trip, why WHY would you eliminate the reserves from picking it up?!?! duh
Clarify for me, There is a lag time between when someone attempts to pick up a trip, and when the poster responds?
The FA picking it up must wait to hear back from the poster?
