I reminded him that we where in contract negotiations but I don't think he gets it. On the crewbus an FO was actively picking up day turns on his day off. On my commute home an AA captain asked how our negotiations where going, I commenced complaining about people picking up trips on their days off. His advice to me was do your part & just fly your minimum every month. He said eventually more people will get on board and I hope he is correct. So until we get a contract this cat is doing the min every month.
Preach on! The company brought a garbage compensation proposal to the table (ALPA's words not mine) and the same week they're begging pilots to fly in an IROP. Pretty much the Sytem Chief admitted we're understaffed. Please please please pick-up. Save us from our mismanagement. And we do.
