Funny…I just wrote that and checked CWA and my trip last week wasn’t audited correctly.

Pretty sure someone could code the software so it does it automatically….but what do I know.

Swapa beta tool.

Pilots whine but don't listen to solutions.

It doesn't work in all instances. RSV trips for one....and weird one-offs like my trip (2 trips merged due to an unscheduled overnight). They gave me the guarantee for the first trip (correct). They gave me DT for the 1st leg of the 2nd trip (incorrect) with PP for the rest of the day since it was a move up (correct). They failed to give me the 5 tfp for the unscheduled overnight. Once they fixed it I lost the DT leg but got the 5 tfp that was contractually owed.

As opposed to your current airline?

I know that coding and paying the pilots correctly would cost the company tens of millions . The company needs to recoup the billion dollar loss ( in one week)somehow. What better than to steal it from the pilots .

I just said in a previous post I’ve never been paid incorrectly here. Plenty of incorrect audits…but if you catch it and your payroll report is accurate at the end of the month your odds of being paid correctly are nearly 100%

Don’t disagree. I’m sure SWAPA could figure out how to automate it but getting the company to admit they suck and there’s a better way….

SWAPA did come out with an audit program, it is on the SWAPA website for pilots to check pay. It is not 100% accurate but it is very good. SWAPA offered the program to the company and the company declined the offer. I would guess, why pay the pilots correctly when you do not have to .
