There are numerous other pairings with three legs on a redeye shift! And, the best part? They're all legal!
I thought the intent of improved scheduling language in the new contract was to eliminate this kind of stuff? But hey, think of all the per diem and 'night premium pay' we're gonna rack up!
ALPO, you ROCK! And many here thought that the company wouldn't figure out how to "optimize the schedules." That "WE" would get away with an "industry leading" contract. Some pilots just don't realize that the company hires
professionals to negotiate CBA's and to run a business. All the while "WE" have some (not all) volunteers that THINK they know what they're doing. Haven't heard much from the scheduling committee lately...hmmmm.
