If we all had a little restraint just during summer especially during transition weeks this place would crumble and we'd have a RATIFIABLE TA in short order.
This has never worked in history at any airline...ever...never will pilots picking up open time control getting a contract...its just a fun kid game for us weirdo pilots to play because we have no control over when a TA comes and we are all control freaks...
