Remember.....it's not what they say, it's what they do. Writing is on the wall, 50 seats are done and scope is maxed out everywhere.

Got the TA survey phone call today. Only interesting question. 1 to 5 how important is a single seniority list with Skywest? I told the guy I didn't even know that was on the table.

Our scope protections need to be priority number 1 for us IMO.

As much as I hate to compare this place to the train wreck that is republic, but at least their certificates are all on one list. If they think that when they shut XJT down that we will go over on first year FO pay, they really don't know this group.

It's plan b for a reason. But that doesn't mean I won't point out the immorality of our CEO's business practice.

That's CEO's in general these days. It's all about their golden parachute, and shareholders.

So I got a great question for bidding on the ASA side. Someone below me with no vacation or pre award credit was awarded a line. I did not get a line and had no issues with mandatory days off at the beginning of the month. I always bid "select all remaining pairings" but for some reason that didn't matter. Anyways I looked at my bid and I saw on the priority list that select all remaining pairings was no.2 on the list below no.1 select reserve line 701,702,703,704, etc...

My question is, did I totally botch my bid because of the priority being mixed up? One of my friends just ahead of me on the list bid exactly like me, got a line, but he also was able to have select all remaining pairings listed ahead of his reserve line bids before reserve pairing 701,702,703, etc listed in his priority box 1.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this but I need to know if I should be upset with someone else or upset with my self for not knowing how to bid properly.

"Select all remaining pairings" must come before your reserve selection or you will be provided the opportunity to practice all your four letter words for the month that a guy junior to you is flying your line. Sorry.
