I can tell you this, you guys/gals will be in for a rude awakening when those calls become very rare.
You don’t think that people who do put themselves on the X/Y list wont file grievances if they feel they had been wronged??
You don’t think the company will do anything possible to avoid the 200% pay outs??
I have been here 11 years and I can tell you the bigger we get the less gravy goes around and as the wages will become higher that “spoon” will dry up real fast.
I’m not against making money, as long as the CBA is followed. Having special crews is BS!!
So in the mean time, drop your trips or one block of reserve days and place yourself on all the X/Y list and whatever other ways you can make it happen, but be ready when the company smartens up!
Your analysis of the tactics used to exploit CBA2010 is only about 25% of what it takes to be a true “gravy gulper”. That’s why not everyone is doing it. One amazingly unique tactic was recently made very public and I thought it was going to become a Thread of it’s own but it didn’t even register with those in attendance. I think it was a slip up because the topic change almost immediately.

Your welcome.
