While some are economically benefitting from OE trip drops.... its not a valid comparison at all to vacation.

Now.....tell the pilot group management is going to reach into the pool of available vacation weeks prior to any bid/award process....and 'set aside' 25% of them exclusively for use at managements discretion?

Now you are apples to apples. And I'm guessing the reaction would be equally vehement in opposition.

P.S. you know, there is absolutely nothing standing in way of management stuffing 3K pounds of sand in the forward bin, along with a full tank of gas and NO PAX.....and sending LCAs out with new pilots to bounce and fly around the system to get the required OE.

Nothing at all
