Brothers and Sisters,

We are working on a plan to address the crew issues at Mason City.  At this point in time the discussion we have had with the carrier have been unproductive.  We were told that first-in first-out was not going to happen, but it has.  We did not want first-in first-out.  We are working on getting the problem corrected.  I know many of you have been calling with questions, and right now I do not have many answers.  Once we get something concrete from the carrier I will let everyone know.

The Carrier can now detect if you are using the mobile website while you are on duty!  As of right now this is a pilot program and no discipline will be assessed if you are caught.  They are going to let us know when the pilot is up.  As a reminder, your user id is yours, nobody else is supposed to be using it.  If you are deadheading then this will not apply.  Be warned!!

If you are on the AWTS board and want to use your vacation, you must let CMS know a month in advance!!!  If you do not, they will pay you in lieu of!!  If you have questions, you can read the Agreement in the Download Section.

We are now able to input your vacation change requests.  Sheets are up in the yard office on the side of the bulletin board for change requests and single day requests.  The callers can change your vacation to single days if you cannot get ahold of myself or Rick.

The Rules Exam schedule for 2013 is posted in the yard office.  See a manager for the study guide.
