Yeah, inferior to our current system. What you have there is probably the minimum the last line holder gets on a vacation month, two four days.

Is that a 32 day bid period?

Oh my GOD are you kidding me ?? You think that is great ??? Wow you are brain washed. Keep up the good work

September will also be a vacation month (as one of the vacation days falls on the next bid period). I'll end up with the first week or more off in September, since I'll only have to meet 65 hours on my award. That's a month and possibly more off. 3 weeks vacation a year, 6 vacation months. That's about a month off every four months, with guarantee, if that's what you really want.

Regardless, I didn't say our vacation system was better. I said it wasn't inferior.

You have to meet 65 hours on an award... LXJT has no such requirement. With three weeks of vacation (one in may, one in July, and one in Sept) by the time my vacations are over, I will have only worked less than 100 hours the entire summer.

Not trying to feed an argument. Your system is good, our is better. You'd have really benefited by our system. It is not a coincidence that management wants PBS and most pilots don't.

And yes the ASA negotiating team dragging their feet screwed us. We could have had a great contract before Endeavor screwed the industry.

The ASA MEC directed the ASA negotiations to slow down and stall the system. ASA had 70 seat pay and were able to bid 70 RFPs and we did not. It was obvious that any 70 RPFs won would go to ASA and not XJT. As the 50 seaters were parked they would have to come from XJT. The ASA MEC wanted to wait to finish negotiations until their group was bigger then XJT... Thus having all the power. Notice that the minute we got 70+ seat pay that the ASA MEC got a fire lit under their buttz? Honestly within a month and a half of us getting 70 seat pay the contract was nearly finished. Then management asked us for nearly 20 million a year in concessions!!! Thanks ASA MEC and thank you Endeavor!

The vacation optimizing features in both contracts seem very appealing. The pilot groups will soon be asked by the company, and perhaps the MECs, to forfeit them voluntarily. We should respond by saying no. Say no to all concessions. Ask for more instead. You deserve it.

Wrist bands are a crap idea and tacky. Give me a sticker any day.

 

[Mickey Mouse]

Some pilots are expressing an interest in stickers. We have already seen a proactive initiative for solidarity from the XJT group with a wristband campaign. I am sure we will see these wristbands in the near future. I wonder if we will see any stickers? Wristbands + Stickers = > Solidarity

We need to stop arguing for now about PBS systems. That's been put off for a while.
More importantly LXJT and LASA need to come together with others in the fight against this management assault on our careers.
When I say others, I do not of course include pilots at Bendoveur.

Hold on guys....supply and demand. The airlines with the better pay and conditions will have a better shot at getting the new hires, if any.
Hopefully the scumbag operations will shrink and die off.

Hold the line now for all our sakes!
No concessions!
Not a penny!
Stand united!

No!!!!NO!!!

Ok. ASA only pays 16 hours for 4 days of AQP. That combined with a carry over trip conflicted with 2 trips I could have picked up. So, having 16 hour training instead of another 25 hr trip means I couldn't hit the Minimum NINETY hours required for August.

Main point: I'm on reserve after 6 years ONLY because I have a training event. Had I not had AQP, i would have had a line. It's a 4 Fing figure difference in my pay!

Oh yea... If the min wasn't 90 Fing hours... I'd have had an 80+ hour line anyway. Oh well. Back to $2,200 bucks again.
