Having to combine the extra day of pain and suffering in the simulator is like being an indentured servant at these pay rates. You get 25 to 30 percent of your monthly paycheck for just going to the sim. In order for us to make that coin, we'd have to fly an extra trip. CAL counts on that because we're all so poor after having our pockets picked for the last 10 years. It's like a productivity enhancement tool. Make your pilots come to work on their days off....This forces them to fly more because of PBS. PBS deconflicts the sim event 2 months in advance. You'll get to work 8 to 10 days in a row sometimes with your sim events tacked on either in front of or behind your trips. If it's legal via PBS, they will stick it on your line.

18 days til the weekend. Slave-ship airlines.........Stivala and Muir strike again.
Otto,

A JCBA will fix those problems! I will guarantee that! Let's get one ASAP, OK?!
