Your roster is in your email
 

I still cannot access it online, but surprise, surprise...it's been in my email account since 430PM...in various formats, too. Finally! :D

It would have been so simple to explain the change in procedure. Communication is so important in the cockpit but obviously trivial within a company!!:sad:

How dare they take away the one genuine, guaranteeable source of a quality whinge! The fact that I can now simply download the .ics file and import it into iCal is simply not cricket! The 15th of the month will never be the same again.

STP

Not in mine, nor is it crew direct??? It's now 1945 HKT....:sad:

Such cynicism, you don't realise the amount of back slapping that had to goon after winning "the best IT of the year award for an airline based inHKG with a green tail and a boss called John award" or as I like to callit the TBIOTYAFAABIHWAGTAABCJA a most prestigious award indeed, oh and thenfire the guy who made it all possible.

Shame on you.

Found it in the company email ......

yes I know sticky space bar, don't know why.

Apparently Nose Gear was offended by my sarcastic remark. The punishment will continue, but I will just pretend it is not happening from now on.:mad:

Sorry where was the company email informing us of the change to roster delivery procedure?

I don't normally take the bait...but....joejet, you take the prize for stupid, asinine, comment of the month.:yuk::D I'd like to see you apologize but I won't be holding my breath.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Good point crwjerk. It used to be that there was an email sent to your Outlook account informing you of the roster publication and now there's an email sent to your Outlook account informing you of the roster publication - it's outrageous!

STP

I know, it's mind-boggling!!!! :ugh:

Why is Simulator 5 listed in "Expiries in next 3 months?"

crwjerk "Why is Simulator 5 listed in "Expiries in next 3 months?"

Volume 7.

Simulator 5 includes the Wind-shear schedule 11 requirement which previously was in the RT/PC cycle.

Why?

Because if there was no regulatory requirement for this Sim, then it would appear on the published roster but would be quickly cancelled by 8929.

Everyone has to do this from the DFO to the most junior JFO. This duty will probably be at an anti-social time of the day, but there is good evidence to suggest that we all need some training.

With the crew shortage I am amazed that the bean counters have not squeezed this Simulator out of the syllabus.

Wot Jonathon sed!

The fleet offices fought hard to get this training opportunity against the South end of 3rd floor who think training gets in the way of screwing crew into a "productive" roster.

Fleet slipped the regulatory item into what used to be an easily cancelled simulator training duty and got a rare win over the Pongo. To CC any simulator that is not regulatory is just a free Reserve. (oh what am I thinking, nearly all reserve is free..)

Nose Gear - Sorry!
 

Where can I collect my Prize? I'm assuming it will be unannounced, just like my roster, in my Company email. :}

Survey says..?? BUMP-BOW!!
 

...only by replacing it with an Android tablet!

(Steve don't like no stinkin' tinkerin' with his toy)

:}

@Jizz,

This doesn't answer your question properly, but if you have a google calendar account, why don't you load it into that and then sync it to your iPad. Just did it and it took all of 30 secs.

If you don't have such sync setup, there are instructions on gCal which talk you through it.

gCal syncs with the native calendar app on iPad and also other 3rd party apps. (I use "Informant").

Hope this helps. Sorry if I've told you to suck eggs in any way.

Press your finger down over the .ics file link for a second and then select "open in new Tab" .:ok:

Maybe its time to brush up on your I.T. skills before you critisize, Your ignorance is shining through :D

F-one's IT skills?? Survey says: BUMP-BOW!
 

Sorry Fangio,

but unless you do the web client work-around previously described... without iSteve's iPermission you can't save it iDirectly to your iCal on your iDevice.

With Google, you can upload the file direct to the (offline) calendar on any post 2.2 Vers (GB, HC, ICS or JB). How's that for a "critisize"??

:ok:

Er, not true actually. The method described by nitpicker is correct and works perfectly although to be fair to the the detractors, it does take up to 14 seconds.

STP

And another thing....
 

The 26th is on a Sunday this month, and if they put my pay in again on the Friday without an NTC telling me it'll be in there 2 days early, I'm really going to see red.:ugh:
Come on fellas, sometimes you just have to admit that, albeit kicking and screaming, CX is being dragged into the 21st century, and every now and then this leads to an improvement.:D

Damn right!

You and 48 of your colleagues could be dismissed for "no particular reason".

It has the departure in local time, work back from there :ok:

Does all of this new fangled email stuff mean I cannot get my my roster by fax anymore?

Fax? I still have a carrier pigeon deliver mine. ;)

carrier pidgeon? smoke signals for me, though that sometimes doesnt work very well with the viz in Hong Kong.

Did anyone get the triple file format e mail this month? Was that just a trial run? How will it come next month .... Speckled Jim??

Wonder what will turn up this month?

Roster delivered by osmosis.

Check it when you wake up on the 16th... much easier.

Cr@pest roster ever!!!! All midnight two crew crap again.:yuk:

If they think that I'm going to be flying it, they are dreaming!!!:=

Do they honestly think that a Sin through the night followed by a NRT through the night is acceptable!:ugh:

...so you call in sick and pass it on to your mates on reserve. Nice.

Remember the feeling the next time YOU get called out on reserve.

Here's an idea...proffer them.

... Or maybe, Frogman voluntarily works a G day or two to get rid of those night flights. That way, he can screw his mates out of overtime and work them through the night in his place. Isn't that how it really works around here?

Yawn..... Same people, same moans, different month

Oh yes, uderpants, i'm still laughing my head off. I need to profer a trip that is clearly unsafe to do because i'm worried bout you getting it while on reserve!:ok:

Nice one!:ok:

That is the dummest statement i have read in a while!:ugh:
