        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:

        https://afaalaska.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Open-Time-Trading-with-the-Codes-Quick-Reference-Guide.pdf

        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
