Mr. Scheduling has it under control. He knows what he is doing and is the only person in the universe that can run the CX rostering system. Not even a $50 million USD computer program can do what he is doing.
Our ultra-modern Rostering system is so sophisticated only Mr. Scheduling knows how to use it. Why because Mr. Scheduling has told the COO, DFO, GMA or anyone in a position of power that he is the only one that can do the job and our higher powers believe him. Mr. Scheduling is holding it all together and without him, it will simply collapse.
These flights are not being crewed because we believe that the pilots are doing contract compliance, on their own, without the knowledge of the HKAOA General Committee. We can’t seem to prove the pilots are initiating contract compliance as the revote is ongoing. When contract compliance is voted in, we will know who to penalize and add them to our ongoing list for the People’s Director.
We don’t see an increase in ASR’s due to body clock disruptions, poor rest and other safety related issues. Everyone seems to be having proper rest.
We don’t see an increase in pilots not using commanders discretion especially our freighter operations where it is needed almost on a daily basis. Most don’t know how to calculate which of the crew is FTL limited and whom is acclimatized or not. Most cargo loading is on time which is a big credit to our cargo team. It very rarely has an impact on FTL limitations.
Our attrition rate on the freighter is acceptable thanks to the GMA’s initiatives on tax, basing policies and rostering.
To penalize pilots for disrupting our Highly Developed Rostering system, we will develop patterns that will have HK based crew sitting reserve at outports and Outport based crew sitting reserve in Hong Kong with patterns extending from 8-10 days. In the short term it will be expensive but will solve our crewing problems and may even become the norm.This is especially efficient to ports where we have multiple flights per day. With flights up to 15 hours per direction we can fit in two 12 hour reserve periods per 7 day period and possibly more after the seventh day.
As in 1999-2001 era rostering will not get better for the short or long term. We simply don’t not have the appropriate people in place to make these changes and the people here now just don’t have the will to change.
We will follow the true fired (pun intended) way of just bullying our way through these circumstances by firing several people and the rest will fall into line. The Director’s People is putting together an initiative as we speak as he has been so successful in the past.
