I understand that I am a Johnny-come-lately around DAL, but I am dismayed at the number of folks that are thrilled to work on their days off at straight pay......recently, another poster threw out ALV+15 as an average for our crews.

This is a bullet to the head of our QOL, manning, upgrades , etc. We are our own worst enemies in that respect, and that metric will never change until WE change.

For you young'uns, this is a marathon, not a sprint. 18 days of reserve for 70 hours is quite enough........Scope, work rules, then rates.

Nomex on,
