Great News!
We are excited to announce the automation of the Trip Request process in FLICA. At this time the enhancement will be for the Bid FA & GDO Pick-up Trip Requests folder. This folder will be activated (go-live) on February 7, 2018.
Overview
Here are some of the enhanced features of the Bid FA & GDO Pick-up Trip Request folder:
-
You will no longer enter text requests as this will be replaced with preference options that can be selected from a drop-down menu.
-
Crew Schedulers will no longer copy and paste requests onto a spreadsheet to process, all requests will be handled in the folder.
-
This folder will begin awarding at 10:30HST each day, for trips departing the next day.
-
You will now have up until 10:30HST the day prior to trip departure to submit your preferences.
-
Preferences will now expire at the end of the Bid FA & GDO pick-up process instead of 16:00 LDT as currently stated in the AFA contract.
-
Reserve Trip Requests will continue to be handled the way they are today.
-
Training Materials
Look for Trip Request instruction documents detailing the associated changes, including examples of how to enter request preferences, in the following locations:
-
FLICA – Instruction document will be located in the Trip Request Folder
-
Halflica.net – TR instruction document will be posted on the website
-
IFS Website – Planning & Scheduling – FLICA and Trades page will also post an instruction document.
Communication
If you encounter any issues or have any questions with the new folder please submit a FLICA inquiry detailing your concern. The FLICA Inquiry Form is located on the IFS Website – Planning & Scheduling. General questions may also be sent to Halflica@Hawaiianair.com
We believe this is a very large step towards creating greater transparency both you and Crew Schedulers. We hope this enhancement will create a better experience for all involved with this process.
