We just implemented our new work rule changes that a whole 30% of the pilots voted on and deleted many days off that we once enjoyed while not increasing our daily productivity one bit.
We are now a regional carrier and I've just dusted off my logbook to apply to FedEx.
With all respect to pax carriers...please do not compare us to you! We are just freight dogs. I am sure Jetblue is a great company also..but do not compare us to them either...we are just freight dogs! Later in this thread we are compared to Home Depot! Please do not compare us to them! We are just freight dogs!
It really sucks to go to work and just carry boxes...no smiling passenger faces telling me what a great landing I just had..It also sucks when I have a two week long trip and just get two weeks off afterward. Then I bid a week vacation and end up with 30 days off in a row...exactly, home with the wife and kids for that long!!! It sucks!!!! Why can't I go to work for just 3 days? So what if I spend 2 days commuting for each trip; I will still be home for 24 hours in a row...One day I will grow up to be a real airline pilot!
