    C19 Crew Access Helpful Hints~ Open Time Trading

    February 15, 2017 22:21

    CREW ACCESS HELPFUL HINTS

    ADVERTISING TRIPS

    When you advertise a trip it currently selects both the trade and grab boxes. Uncheck both boxes and then check the box that applies to the transaction you are seeking.

    For example: If you only want to post the trip to give away as a “gift,” check the “grab” box. If you want to trade your trip then you would check the “trade” box.

    This is a fix on the list to have both boxes default to blank. This will prompt the FA to select which option(s) s/he desires.

    OPEN TIME TRADING 

    Question: When trading with open time, can I check all the trips that I want to drop into open time and process one transaction for all trips in my cart?

    Answer: No. You can only drop one trip at a time into open time. Add trips from your roster to your cart, one at a time, and then process your drop into open time. 

    The system is not designed to process multiple drops into open time all at once.

    Question: Do I have to “unadvertise” a trip that I’ve posted in order to trade it with open time?

    Answer: No

    Question: How do I trade multiple trips with open time? (Example: I want to trade my 2 day trip for 2 turns?)

    Answer:

    •   Check all trips from open time you are seeking to trade with (Creating a filter is helpful with this!)

    •  Check mark all the trips from your roster you are trading (this can be done in either order)

    •  Go back to your cart and Click Swap

    Expect OT to close very fast this month.

    TSN CODES:  TO or NO CODE?

    New location of TSN code:  Now located in trip header next to the pairing number.

    In Crew Access the codes have been simplified: No code = TX.  TO = TO, DD, and CP.

    Please refer to Section 12, Exchange of Sequences, of the CBA and review the following link for more help on trading with Open Time:

    Reserve Self-Assignment Clarification

    During the reserve self-assignment period Lineholders are able to trade/pick up with Open Time. You are not allowed drop trips into Open Time during this time.

    For more information on this refer to Section 12.E.1.a.1-3.

    FLIGHT ATTENDANT GRABS AND TRADES

    Question: How do I give a FA my trip?

    Answer:

    •   Check mark the trip you want to give to the FA

    •   Go to your trade cart

    •   Select action select direct trade

    •   Add their people soft # (designated by word “Crew”)

    •   Click direct trade 

    Question: How do I trade multiple trips with another FA? 

    Answer:

    •   Check mark the trip you want to trade with the FA, go to your trade cart

    •   Add their people soft # (designated by word “Crew”)

    •   Add their trip number (pairing number)

    •   Select date

    •   Select Direct Trade as the action

    •   Click Add Trip to keep adding trips to populate

    •   When all trips are added, click Direct Trade 

    REFRESH YOUR BROWSER!!!

    In order to see real time you have to refresh your browser. Otherwise you could be looking at a snapshot of what was in the system from the last time you refreshed.

    Make sure you have your filters set. Refresh, re-filter, and repeat!

    Thank you
    Sea Scheduling Chairs,
    Martin Vance and Rita Tillou
