How about your pay scales...(chill, it's a joke!) As long as you don't have to feed a family.

What is the override for VJA/JA pay there?

What is the override for VJA/JA pay there?

time and a half (1.5 trips) The nice thing on reserve they can't JA you on a day off unless you volunteer. So If everyone could please bid reserve so I can hold a line Thanks,

... and I think you can only be involuntarily JA'd once a month, which is better than some places I've worked.

Any poolies got any info on this??-- seems if this were true- they'd start to hear fairly quickly...

Being JA'd comes with the territory. It is a double edged sword that keeps our company lean and extra flying available to pick up to supplement the pay.

It is the guys who have time available to work that the company grabs.

Every single weekend my phone rings with offers of VJA in my base. I think we are short of FOs.

If you bid to work weekends, They will not call

YGTBFSM!!!...That's the saddest website I've see in a long time.

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and god-darn it...people like me! LOL

 

[Jmoney]

Damn...

That website was truly the gayest place on the internet!!!

Holy crap, 737pylt! I think one has to ask serious questions about the wisdom of posting the website of your little boy toy..... He just might get snippy and refuse to take you to the next taping of "Dancing with the stars."

In some ways, aren't you guys hosing yourselves by signing up for VJA? If you didn't give them this option and didn't answer the phone when they were trying to JA you, wouldn't you increase your seniority since they'd have to hire more FO's?

Just thinking outloud.

Efficientcy. We work extra, they pay time and a half. Your example is how the ALPA airlines I worked at did business. Pilots were looked down upon for picking up extra work. Here nobody scolds you for wanting to work more to make more. All the other companies I worked at are bankrupt or out of business now. Our seniority is growing quick enough without having to choke the golden goose. The good part is that if you want to have 18 days off and make only 90 TFP, you can.
