Update on Open Time Fixes

Update on Open Time Fixes

We just wanted to update you on a few things that are on a list to be fixed in the New Open Time system.  There are four things that going to be fixed in the coming months:

  1. Net 40 Calculator being visible in Maestro.
  2. No need to recall your trip before being able to trade with OT.
  3. Correct coding of trips – programing the TX code.
  4. Codes displaying on trips in Maestro.

We will keep you posted on the progress of these fixes, but please know they are on the list and actively being addressed.  Once the coding is corrected, this will allow you the ability to trade a trip on your line with a trip in OT coded with anything other than DD, CP or TO (e.g. TX, SL, ML, UB, CB, etc.) for a different report date as long as you are covering the same days of flying or greater.  For example, you have a two day trip on October 20/21 and you want to trade for a 3 day trip on October 19/20/21 in OT coded TX.  This trade will be approved once the TX coding is programed.

We appreciate everyone’s feedback on this new open time system.

In Solidarity,

Your ANC LEC Officers
