So wrong. Yet there is some happy go lucky little reserve guy out there just sooooooo excited to tell chicks he flys real jets for the airlines. And the super senior guys couldn't care less. It's a union issue.
This is exactly what management wants you to feel. Management is the ones who declare IROP/SWAP yet the pilots blame other pilots and the union. It's managements perfect way of undermining our union and YOU along with hundreds are falling for it.
I'm also now scheduler for 29:47 in 7 with my next 4 day that starts tomorrow with quite a bit of ATL flying. I know I will have overblock for sure, and scheduling response: You're legal, so just operate until you go over. Lets see what happens when I go over on my last leg at an outstation and can't operate the flight back.
Unfortunately, until 1/4/14, it's still good to start good to finish.
