Day of Operations/Crew Desk
Scheduling Workshop

September 18–19, 2024
McLean, Va.


ALPA’s Economic & Financial Analysis Department is pleased to announce our next Scheduling Workshop: Day of Operations/Crew Desk. The two-day event will provide a unique opportunity for Scheduling Committee members, including their active monthly scheduling experts, from all ALPA pilot groups to interact and discuss a full range of topics. 

Discussions will include: 

  • Scheduling Committee involvement at their NOC/OCC/SOC and oversight of crew desk/services departments;
  • Reserves order of assignments, long call, short call, RAPs;
  • Trip cancellations/reassignments; 
  • Scheduling modification by pilots including drops, swaps, pickup, and pilot-to-pilot trip trades;
  • Current and best practices;
  • Technical/software applications; and 
  • Contract language support (including fatigue issues).

This is a union-only function for Scheduling Committee members only with no company or vendor participation.

The workshop will begin at 0900 on Wednesday, September 18, and is scheduled to conclude at noon on Thursday, September 19. Full daily schedule TBD.
