From Google:
Gloating - to contemplate or dwell on one's own success or another's misfortune with smugness or malignant pleasure.

20-25 percent of 11500 is a big number. There are a lot of guys on reserve and from what I read, not all are giddy. In fact, take a look at DCA 777 next month. The G line just jumped by 40 - 50 guys. That will put a lot of guys on SC who have been solid line holders for years. Many of them don't live anywhere near DC, so please spare us the "you bid it" argument. Twenty bucks says the number of PDR's from DC pilots jumps next month. While I'm glad its working well for YOU, that's not my idea of being a union member. What's next, sweet deals from Scheduling for flying over vacation?
As ST said, I'm having a tough time recognizing this new version of United Airlines.
What has happened on the 777 fleet in DCA is just wrong. The company needs to keep the G-line percentages consistent to allow pilots the opportunity to bid fleets/seats that fit their lifestyle. What should have happened is more W flying to keep the number of block hours consistent during the Winter drawdown and add G-Line stability.
