Scheduling

Who do I contact for general scheduling questions?

Always start with the committee closest to your question. For Scheduling-related questions, reach out to the Scheduling Committee at Scheduling@apa2118.org.

Why was my VFN award marked unsuccessful even though I was legal, and the trip was later awarded to another pilot group?

Question: I am a FO in BNA. A VFN for BNA-CAK-BNA was put out twice tonight and I accepted both. The VFN would have created conflict with duty I have in the morning but I am otherwise legal for the VFN. Both VFNs came back 'Unsuccessful'. The company then put out a VFN to the TYS pilot group to LL to BNA and operate the trip. That VFN was awarded.

Answer: The company is under no obligation to award the VFN to a conflict pilot and can choose not to award the assignment. There is a flow chart detailing the award process on the 2118 webpage located in Resources, VFN Award process. You can also review Grievance AAY-2016-004 (VFN Assignments)
