You'd better believe we did.john john said:
If you agree to work other peoples' shift, and no-show what you've agreed to work, you can lose your ability to pick up other shifts. I had a guy pick up four shifts over a weekend, and he didn't show up for a single one of them. Says he forgot. He lost his ability to pick up shifts for the next month.
If you go over the 50% cap on giving your shifts away, you can lose your ability to give away your shifts for the next six months.
I know, holding people accountable is something you despise, but when you have no consequences, you fear nothing.

Keep trying, Skippy.john john said:
People lose their privileges over their own behavior, not at the company's whim... I've never seen CS revoked or disapproved because it was on a holiday or during a weather event.
From firsthand experience, I was able to pick up hours from people at both ORD and DFW as the airport was shutting down around us and we knew we were heading into forced overtime.
The only time I've CS's rejected because of anything other than the individual losing their privileges was when the two individuals didn't have the same qualifications.
Even there, we'd often see the manning desk allow an exception if there were enough qualified people already on the schedule to allow the lesser qualified person to substitute for the higher qualified person.
It's getting pretty clear that you like making big issues out of things you have no experience with... makes you a perfect candidate to be a shop steward if you're not already one.

never did... but I'm not waxing on and on about airport staffing practices that took place years ago.
The world has changed and I am far more interested in hearing what current AA employees have to say about shift swap procedures than what took place half a decade or more ago.

I been around long enough to know (longer then you) that swaps are very important to employees and management will use it as a pawn and change reverse stall manipulate random create policy if left solely to the absolute discretion of managementeolesen said:

There is no more White slipping, the new contract eliminated that E.They cannot force anyone to stay 4 over.As far as the new Guy I don't know either way but,It sounds like a carbon copy of the last three managers.It must be the accountants ledger dictating the wish list.The system is broken the way things are done from the top down.Even the facilities cause major delays just from the recent changes in Aircraft maintenance location.They have a lot to do.

What's the matter, Skippy... the DL room getting too boring for you? Did you forget about some fictional relative of yours or your wife who supposedly worked the ramp at DFW? Maybe you should ask him about the CS policy...WorldTraveler said:
As you never actually supervised anyone at an airport, I know you don't have anything constructive to add to the discussion.
The fact remains that the CS policy at AA hasn't changed materially in the past 30 years, with the exception of adding the 50% cap about 15 years ago.
