So the TWU stood up for leaving the interpretation of 121.377 the way it is and people threw rocks saying it prevented more hiring of AMTs. Now the arguments I see here are that restricting CS'ing would prevent people from commuting. What do people want? To work more than 16 hours two days in a row and work on aircraft?

When we were designing rules for StaffAdmin, we discussed flagging and even inhibit CS's where a max number of hours worked within a 24 hour period would be exceeded. I was for it, since someone who has worked three days of back to back's is not only worthless by the third day, but they start to become a safety hazard.Overspeed said:
It never got implemented, partly because as we dug into the weeds, we couldn't guarantee the accuracy since CSW's and CSO's weren't always logged at the same time unless it was a straight swap. But both the TWU guys and field management were adamant that we not touch it.
That was changed in 2011 when a system wide CS policy was written for Fleet and Agents. The original committe was made up of TWU reps, management, AAB, agents, clerks, CC's, and HDQ people under Delvalle. At the second meeting Tim Guilespie got his panties in a wad and after throwing a temper tantrum ordered all the TWU people to leave the meeting. It continued anyway and the current systemwide CS policy went into affect in June of that year. It may have it's flaws, but it is at least consistent with minor flexibility allowed for stations to be more or less restrictive to a small degree regarding overlaps and advance notice.eolesen said:

In theory CS language would be great, but with the TWU involved, I'm not sure if the policy they would have put in the contract would hurt me or help me. The TWU doesn't have a great track record with any of that.
In theory, being in a union should be great. but in actuality it has not been. I look at Delta and Fedex and wish we had that environment, we might not get that, but I know what I have with the TWU, soon to be TWU/IAM, what an abortion that looks to be.

We did not use software for CS tracking (except for overall time). We used 3 binders. We only had 107 people IIRC. Supervisors watched those binders like a hawk though. If you violated the CS policy you WOULD BE CAUGHT. Believe it.
