I don't disagree that IBT is to blame for a lot of the problems...,company for the rest, regardless of who is to blame, life sucks for the pilots here! Yes I have bypassed an upgrade...bidding in the top 3 in the base i live in, means that I have a decent schedule. Decent schedule for me is not what a new hire will expect. Even Witt a food schedule I dislike my job. Constant reassignments, fighting for the pay you are owed, no cancellation pay, etc. I did bypass, so i won't complain about the $36/hr I've made for the past 4 years. When I can hold weekends off on reserve, or a line, in a base I can commute in 1 leg, I'll upgrade. Right now i am trading days off for pay....but pay is only a tiny bit of the many issues at this company!
