And I love your plan about using ready reserves. You have now seen how this management operates for 3 years now. They will just compensate by putting 50 pilots on ready reserve every day instead of the usual 3-6. Oh but you don't care, because you're too senior to sit reserve anyhow. Yeah! F those junior F'ers!!! (Nevermind that they're 10-14 year Captains). I shouldn't have to check in! Never mind that 99% of the industry does it. Entitlement!
Nevets, I agree with your above reply 100%.
Tony, when are you going to get it through that " " skull of yours that we negotiated that no check-in provision as part of our last contract? It's a contractual provision that we don't have to check-in. It's not because "you should be able to do whatever you want and the company can get over it because they exist to provide you a job", it is a contractual provision that the company signed-off on. AND, we have/had (pre-merger) one of the best CCF's in the industry despite having that "entitlement" as you like to refer to our contract language.
Maybe when you few on the ASA side start to think like men instead of children you will understand how grown-ups handle their work responsibilities. Proven performance (numbers don't lie) provided by proven professionals per the contract.
Preach on Nevets!
