LUS
New Scheduling Consultant

The Company and the Union have mutually hired a consultant, Roy Everett, to look at the overall scheduling processes and give a recommendation for solutions to solve the issues that have been present since the implementation of PBS, ISAP, ETB, etc. Mr. Everett has 40+ years of experience with airline scheduling and PBS systems. After the JIRC’s initial face-to-face meeting with Mr. Everett we are confident that he will be able to make excellent recommendations to the Company and the Union in regards to possible changes to system settings, pairing construction, and other scheduling functions that could bring about a more balanced and satisfactory scheduling process from the PBS award to ETB and ISAP flexibility. He is currently assessing the situation and gathering the needed information to create a recommendation.

The hiring of a consultant does not include the intent to remove any of the systems in place and he does not have any ability to make changes to contractually regulated items. The intent of hiring Mr. Everett is to gain an outside perspective on ways that similar systems have been used successfully at other airlines and to find areas of improvement in these systems to create success for our members.
