Snarge-
I have to ask what you have achieved through your "culture". Bankrupt and 1400 pilots furloughed for the last decade. You say "FUPM" is a bad thing. I thought the purpose of a job was to make money. Don't understand the mentality of soft time. Flying 65 hrs getting credit for 75 with only 12-14 days off is exactly as it sounds, stupid. Why not go to work to work. Work a little harder on your days on and we can all get more off. Ask a Southwest guy or gal what they think about 12 days off. You seem to think productivity is a bad thing. Sorry I have to disagree. I don't mind flying 8 hrs a day for 80 hrs and 20 days off. At 120-130 an hour as an fo, that's not bad living. Not sure what your problem with pay banding is. I would much rather have several aircraft pay wide body pay than have one pay some amount that creates a ton of commuters. I actually like to be able non rev from Iah to ewr. Now I am one all for work rules, but sometimes it seems we are shooting ourselves in the foot. The same work rules that applied in the 80's don't necessarily make life better when you are dealing with computerized scheduling. All that said, we should replace culture with common sense. Work when you are at work and then go home, again it's not rocket science.
