I've heard from a few people now that asa scheduling is 'hiding' open time so they can give it to reserves and line holders can't pick it up. Would this be legal under the contract or is this just a good rumor?
 
Wouldn't surprise me for a second. With the BS those oxygen thiefs pull, all things are possible.

On a side note, I know a lot of people picking up extra flying from the open time pot. WTF people. Is it suddenly ok to pick up extra flying with furloughs now? Did I miss the memo?

actually you did (well, the thread at least)....depending on your view of the issue (do you believe not picking up open time would bring them back or not), its either ok (or not) to pick up open time while they are out on furlough. Of course nobody could agree and nothing was resolved...imagine that.

Thats assuming you care what the "other side" thinks about it.

Yeah cause there's just soooooo many reserves sitting around doing nothing. :erm:

I guess I didn't read the rest of that thread that I think you're referring to.

I don't agree with hastling people about picking it up, because we all have our reasons, and there really are bigger fish to fry. BUT when I see people who are picking open time due to financial irresponsibility post furlough (you know who you are) that is really frustrating.

politicians are picking up open time?!?!?! WTF?
 
Sadly, neither McNug or the furloughed guys or ALPA writes my check to keep my family clothed, fed and housed. Therefore, I will continue to pick up open time.

It is my understanding the number of block hours dictate when the furloughed guys get called back since there are min staffing requirements. That will be the only thing that changes how many pilots are on property.

Sounds a lot like what screw support does at skywest.

Which is exactly why I said "we all have our reasons" for picking up extra work. What I was refering to are the dweebs that spend themselves into a hole, then are forced to fly extra to make up the slack because they can't afford the life they are living.
