the slipping formula is about managing fatigue. It is amazing that you make statements on how a negotiation occurs or is going to occur before it has! There is currently no major issue with the slipping formula. Fatigue on most trips is within an acceptable level. Should the FAAA negotiate or design a new work allocation system the slipping formula is
NOT on the table. If fatigue on any patterns is an issue it should and i imagine would be dealt with as a seperate issue. Eden 99 if you are reading this could you clarify this point for all of us.
Those sorts of comments are what is called scaremongering, designed to undermine any process before it begins. Note folks not a word about his wifes bidding prowess. How does anyone even being half way as you are in seniority or 3000 as your wife is begin to bid with some hope when you take into account D days. Diagnostics are a vary thread bare guide. They tell you what
was available to you when you bid. NOT what
is available next roster.
Lowerlobe, I agree that we must look at alternatives and all options.I am not saying get rid of seniority in total. I am saying change this work allocation system so it is fair to all.If seniority can be a part of it and the majority agree and vote on it then so be it.
As far as trusting the FAAA officials, how long is a piece of string. you either do trust them or you dont, you either like some of them or you dont.That is the democratic system and fortunately it is open to change every 4 years not 20 like this bid system. Me, I like em.... so far
