Southwest trip drop question

[tankerhead]

Disregard, found answer regarding reserves on another post. Neat, fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Thanks, according to our open time system almost every trade of mine is denied due to minimum reserve coverage. It is still July yet already understaffed for August.

Can you link to this other post? Thx.

I think it was around page 13 on the SLI thread. I think, sorry got to go get a tiller installed in my car so I can pretend to be a capt. Just kidding and look forward to job stability.

Why even bother answering questions for AAI pilots? I think we will never integrate now.

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.
