All you opentime harlot’s are helping out far more for far less! I am a 70 credit kind of guy only because that is the minimum I can drop down to. I advocated the removal of LOA65 for more than a year while most have been silent, letting an orange lanyard do all the speaking for them. Why the sudden change of heart? Is it only a function of the NMB not meeting your timeline? My $.02 on the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of some. Take a good look in the mirror, you may not be the poster boy for our efforts either. Stay unified.
I have to agree with this. There has been a lot of division over picking up INC trips but no one bats an eye at picking up extra flying over their vacation at straight pay. If you’re trying to short staff the company there are much more effective ways, don’t be a hypocrite. I have yet to see or hear anything official from ALPA on this and I don’t expect to, just this thread alone is begging for a TRO. We’re letting petty BS divide the group. Keep status quo and let ALPA handle the negotiations. Close the thread.
