[fugghedabowdit]

It's not looking good all of the sudden.

Which side are you speaking of?

 

[redflyer65]

Just some of the rumors I'm starting to hear from the senior SW FO's. I'll leave it at that.

This deal isn't designed to pass by 100%. If it was, then it would be 0% on the other side.
There is going to be a percentage of people on both sides who feel they are getting disproportionately screwed over and vote no. I'm waiting until I see and understand the whole agreement before I decide how to cast my vote. I will vote my conscious, and will live with outcome no matter if i'm in the majority or minority or if voted up or down.
I would hope everyone on both sides does the same.

I am very poor at writtng so bare with me.

I put my trips in giveaway , where other pilots that a sure thing pick up for the extra flying


I now am off for the month. If i did not pick anything up I would not be getting paid

Interesting. So apparently you have no floor, meaning that there isn't a bottom number of hours (example: 35) that you must fly each month.

Don,

That is correct, but unless you are a mid level CA/FO you will not be able to give trips away.

Why is that?

 

[CaptWidgeon]

if you have a 4 day weekend trip or a trip that doesn't pay well no one will prob want it. now if it has a lbb overnight, it'll go fast.

Sounds a little clunky compared to Flica. With Flica, I just straight drop whatever I want. Then, whenever I feel like it, I put in a pickup request for open trips I like and get instant results.

Oh well, I guess for the raise, I can spend a little more time at the computer.

We must be working for different airlines. For the last 3 months we have had insufficient reserves all month. This begins 10 days before the month even starts !

No dropping and no trading into a day you're not already working.

What magic seat and equipment are you on ?

Why is that?

Because no one picks up straight time, everybody is holding out for premium pay. Now in Feb, a short month, everybody is searching for anything, you could drop anything.

Guys making 300tfp a month? Urban legand, but if it's true, then that guy has no life and is working 23-28 days a month.

Folks are more likely making 105-125, relatively easy by adding a few days above min. Hitting 150-200? Again, guys who like to work 20 plus days a month, go for it, that or they are top 5% and can drop the turns and outbid and win the POT.

Lets keep the totals real folks.

No, you can't drop your whole line unless someone takes your flying.
