I apologize for divorces, bankruptcies and sick children; picking up extra time will not heal those issues. Picking up extra time like this hinders your whole agenda as a collective bargaining entity.

We have received no guidance about whether to, or not to pick up open time. The only guidance we have received is "business as usual." I commute so I don't pick up open time. But I'm curious. Do you care to explain how picking up a open time trip hinders negotiations?
I got a JA call early am a couple of days ago, my first in months. I was asleep so I didn't get it. It would have been almost $2000 for a measly two day, with a dehead on the back end. If I would have taken this how this hurt the union? I really want to know where you guys are coming from.
